DeVeau TelephoneDeVeau TelephoneDeVeau Telephone Manufacturing Company operated from 468-488 18th Street in Brooklyn, New York, producing a wide range of telephone equipment from the 1890s through the early 1920s. Their products included rope shaft and tapered shaft candlestick phones, multi-button desk sets, the "Automatic Switchless" wall telephone, and the "InterTalk" wall intercom system. A 6-button desk set model was patented in 1899. DeVeau had a business relationship with Stanley & Patterson, a New York electrical supply firm that distributed their products. The Smithsonian holds examples of their phones and a 1911 trade catalog. · Candlesticks, American · Source/via: Pete D'Acosta (website)
About This Phone
The base on this beautiful and rare desk set is a very good reproduction and it is empty inside. The rope shaft, switch hook assembly, receiver and transmitter are completely original. This is a great display telephone or would make a great project for the collector who might already have the original base. The scans are from original 1895 DeVeau catalogs.
