About Telegraph Antiques

For about 40 years before the invention of the telephone in 1876, the telegraph served as the primary means of getting important messages from one place to another quickly. An electrical telegraph was patented in the U.S. in 1837 by Samuel F.B. Morse, who also created the famous dots-and-dashes code for tapping out messages quickly using a telegraph key.
