This
a rare item. It was made with a hole in the back to put the
entire phone through, as phones in the 1920s were not modular and were
wired by the phone company. Notice the small shelf for the phone
book underneath the cabinet where the phone is housed. The small
chair is original and intended for adults. Phone conversations
were short and uncomfortable!
After 14 hours of stripping 3 coats of black paint, 15 hours of sanding and wood repair, and 5 hours of stainging and shellacing, this prize piece of furniture is complete. I purchased this in the winter of 2003. Atop the phone stand is my 1918 GE brass-bladed electric fan, also restored and working.
