What are you looking for?
The Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company, founded in 1897 by Milo G. Kellogg after Bell's patent had expired, primarily manufactured equipment for independent telephone companies that competed with the Bell System. Known for its superior switchboard technology and its beautifully designed art deco phones of the 1920s and 30s, the company was eventually absorbed into ITT.
People started collecting phones shortly after Alexander Graham Bell patented them in 1876. Key varieties include early wood wall phones, candlesticks, and rotary dial ‘desk sets’ made of bakelite, metal, and plastic (e.g. 202, 302, 500, Trimline and Princess). Key U.S. manufacturers include Western Electric, Automatic Electric, Kellogg, and Stromberg Carlson. Payphones and signs are also popular.
