About The Model 162

The Telephone No. 162 had a relatively short production window compared to its successor, being manufactured between 1929 and 1935. It was a landmark design for the British General Post Office (GPO) as their first "all-in-one" handset telephone, moving away from the "candlestick" style where the transmitter and receiver were separate.
