General Post Office/BTGeneral Post Office/BTThe General Post Office (GPO) was the state postal system and telecommunications carrier of the United Kingdom until 1969. Established in England in the 17th century, the GPO was a state monopoly covering the dispatch of items from a specific sender to a specific receiver ; it was overseen by a Government minister, the Postmaster General. Over time its remit was extended to Scotland and Ireland, and across parts of the British Empire.Read more on Wikipedia → · Model 200 Series · deco, iconic designs, British
About The Model 200 Series
The GPO 200 series telephones were produced between 1929 and 1959, though they remained a staple of British households and offices well into the 1960s and 70s. Many featured the iconic "cheese drawer" at the base for pull-out instruction cards. The GPO 232 was incredibly durable because it was made of Bakelite (and later Diakon for the ivory/colored models).
