Antique Full-size Folk Art Telephone Toy Collection Jim Linderman



Among the first telephones were the wall-mounted units with a "face" as a bonus.  This full-size handmade toy has a bell mechanism (a cowbell inside which rings when the crank is wound) a hook, a receiver and traces of paint.  Made from scrap wood for a child when toys were made at home.  Circa 1910.  Comparable model shown.  All phones were smart phones, but some were lesser so.
