About Antique Western Electric Telephones

Western Electric, the captive equipment arm of the Bell System, produced the majority of the telephones and related equipment used in the U.S. for almost 100 years. In addition to its most popular models (202s, 302s, 500s, Trimline and Princess telephones), the company's labs produced many major innovations in communication technology.
