This phone was in my family home when I was a child about 70 years ago in Southwest Missouri and I stood in a chair in order to use it. It was originally was in a business in Kansas. The wiring diagram label inside said it is for an 896 which is a 1918 model but the rest of the information is torn off. Can someone tell me the manufacturer? The magneto is a Stromberg-Carlson. The phone is now mounted on the wall in my home in Sonora, California.
It was made by Stromberg-Carlson. I just bought one for restoration.
We have a phone just like this except the mouth piece is flat and it is made by The North Electric Co. what can you tell me about it??? and it has 2 screws on it to open the door...
Your wall phone was manufactured by Stromberg-Carlson of Rochester, N.Y. from 1918 to 1932. It was the last of the wooden magneto wall phones produced by Stromberg-Carlson.

Hello! I have a telephone very similar to the one shown. I know nothing about it and if anyone could tell me anything about it, I would appreciate it very much!
I can't find a maker, but it has a number stamped inside GB 1317 BU. The bells have been removed and covered with a plate, and it has a push button on the face with a plate that says " push to talk, release to listen" It still has 3 large Everready batteries inside also. Thanks for the help! Lisa
Hi, Just adding additional info to my previous question. I foung a tag that says Leich, and I have now found other similar phones, but I'm wondering if the send/receive button would have been original or maybe added when the bells were removed? I have not found any other phones with this button, so it's a mystery to me. Thanks again, Lisa
I also have the same phone and would like more information on it. I could'nt find a date but I did find these numbers on the mouth piece (1481884-L) And Stromberg-Carlson also on the mouth piece. Everything is intacked and also shows a wireing diagram on the inside. Is it worth much?
I have a wooden phone magneto powered. I am preparing to retore it for decoration. I am missing the 2 bells and the crank. I am also missing one of the wooden gussetts, however, I can make wooden gussett. Can anyone tell me where to find the missing bells and a crank.
