I AM OFFERING FOR AUCTION THIS ELEGANT SWISS BAKELITE & METAL, ART DECO STYLE,RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER, AND BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED IN MY WORKSHOP.
IT IS MADE BY ZELLWEGER AG, THIS MODEL IS SIMPLY NAMED A MODEL No. 29, AND WAS FIRST INTRODUCED IN ABOUT 1940, IT WAS STANDARD ISSUE FROM THE SWISS TELECOM COMPANY FOR MANY YEARS, IT WAS LATER SUPERCEEDED BY A MUCH LOWER BORING PHONE WITH MORE MODERN LOOKS, . THIS REALLY HAS A UNIQUE SHAPE AND LOOK AMONG TELEPHONES, AND MUST BE ONE OF THE TALLEST CRADLES AROUND, AND WITH THE ADDED ATTRACTION OF THE TWIN BELLS AT THE REAR.
THE CONDITION IS SIMPLY STUNNING, WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS, AND SHINES VERY NICELY INDEED. IT HAS BEEN TROUGH MY WORKSHOP, AND IS NOW FULLY RESTORED AND LOOKS GREAT, AND IS READY FOR SERVICE.
I HAVE COMPLETELY RESTORED THIS LOVELY PHONE, SERVICED AND FULLY CONVERTED IT TO UK, BT USE, SO YOU CAN PLUG IT IN AND USE RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE INSTALLED A NEW CLOTH COVERED HANDSET CORD, AND A NEW BT WALL CABLE. (FOR USA CUSTOMERS I CAN INSTALL A RJ11 WALL PLUG NO CHARGE).,
THE DIAL ROTATES AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS NEW, I HAVE ALSO SERVICED IT AND LIGHTLY LUBRICATED IT WITH THE FINEST WATCH OIL, AND IT MAKES AND RECEIVES CALL VERY WELL INDEED. THE DIAL IS THE QUALITY SWISS CERAMIC TYPE. THE PHONE WAS JUST KNOWN AS THE MODEL No. 29 AND WAS ONLY EVER MADE IN SWITZERLAND AND ONLY OFFERED WITHIN THE COUNTRY, SO MAKING IT VERY RARE NOWADAYS.
THIS IS A HANDSOME TALL PHONE, THE WAY THE HANDSET STANDS ON THE TALL "U" SHAPED CRADLE, AND IS 21 CM TALL, AND BEST OF ALL ARE ITS TWIN REAR BELLS, AND BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ENCLOSED GIVE A GREAT CLEAR OLD FASHION RING. THIS IS A RARE VERSION OF THIS MODEL.
THESE SWISS PHONES, HAVE BECOME, VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS, I HAVE JUST 2 LEFT NOW, AND I AM UNSURE IF AND WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO SECURE SOME MORE. MOREOVER THE PRICES HAVE NEARLY DOUBLED OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS, SO WHEN THIS STOCK HAS GONE I AM AFRAID THEY WILL BE QUITE A BIT MORE, IF I CAN FIND ANY.
THE 2 I HAVE IN STOCK, THIS ONE AND THE OTHER ARE THE VERY RARE EARLY TYPES, WITH CHROME CRADLES, AND A SPLIT CUP (SPEAKING END) HANDSET.
THIS REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL PHONE, AND BECAUSE OF ITS REAR EXPOSED BELLS GIVES THE BEST BELL SOUND OF ANY PHONE. THE START PRICE IS MOST REASONABLE FOR A FULLY RESTORED VERSION OF THIS EARLY MODEL.
