VINTAGE BAKELITE TELEPHONE

If you are looking for a unique and long lasting gift for the Bride and Groom, what better retro accessory than an authentic Bakelite phone?

These original reconditioned working telephones were first produced in the 1930s using Bakelite. The affordability of the phones at the time meant they were extremely popular, quickly becoming the standard telephone used throughout the country. Much of the stock held by the shops at Imperial War Museums is from phones produced during the 1940s and 50s.
