You are buying our much-treasured Genuine GPO Call Exchange 312L  Bakelite Telephone.


L@@K  BRAND NEW OLD STOCK IN ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX  L@@K


This must be one of the most unique items on eBay currently: a brand new (old stock) in ORIGINAL BOX genuine G P O Bakelite Telephone type 312L.

Truly amazing !! After all these years this item and its box are nearly as good as the day they left the factory !!

The Call Exchange facility was used on shared or party lines: I can remember this from being a kid we had this when our telephone number was just 41 and we shared with 42 !!  In those days you could wait for 6 MONTHS to have a telephone installed....


Anyway back to this item: it has not been converted as I considered the new owner may want it in absolutely original condition in every respect.

However if you would like me to convert it to work on loop disconnect (aka pulse dialling lines) please ask and I shall do this for a small extra charge.

There has been a lot of enquiries about this item so make your mind up: grab an unique example of a British-made telephone....it won't hang around for long.

International buyers please email me for postage rates before making your purchase.

Please note this item is sold on a NO RETURN basis.
