Antique telephone switchboard. 1915.

Beautiful telephone switchboard or address telephone of the early twentieth century. Magnificently preserved and complete. For 3 outside lines and 15 inside lines. Before anyone asks me, the answer is no, it is not suitable for current lines, first because the connection rosellón, can hardly be connected to the current lines through which circulates the ADSL and television, nor for cable or similar and second, because when this phone was manufactured had not even invented the wheel of numbers for direct calls. You needed the telephone operator to connect you to a number, usually 4 digits, an operation that sometimes took more than an hour to complete, even if you called around the corner, and telephone operators have disappeared from the labor market decades ago. While this is obvious to me, I always have to answer these types of questions when I pull out any such phone. Nevertheless, this is a magnificent and rare collector's phone, in a magnificent condition and measuring 40 cm long, 18 cm wide and 24 cm high, which any collector will appreciate in its rightful measure. A beauty!
