inventory # MR/2512-6 DESCRIPTION
Vintage Art Deco black bakelite desk telephone dating from the
1930s. This classic design and shape vintage art deco telephone was made
in the USA by Kellogg. It is a Kellogg Model 925 known as the ashtray
phone due to its spherical indentations on the base under the mouth and
earpiece. Has a spit cup style mouthpiece. Cloth cord with modern wall plug.
The mouthpiece is marked| KELLOGG SWITCHBOARD & SUPPLY COMPANY CHICAGO U.S.A.
I plugged the phone in, and it rings and can receive incoming calls and
talk to the calling person. But when I dial out the operator comes on
and says, "call cannot be completed as dialed", as the rotary dial works
slowly so I think the numbers are not inputting fast enough. I would
think the dial can be lubricated to rotate normally, but I don't want to
mess with it and maybe damage it.
The phone is in
excellent condition, there are no cracks or chips, the numbers and
letters are sharp, but the rotary dial moves slowly.
