SOLD July 21st 1837, Beautifully Weathered Wooden Frame Mold with Carved Date and Name on Reverse scrap almost all of them documented almost all of them documented across three photos of them laid out in grids These Western Electric phones were the first widely distributed phones that adopted the use of a single handset rather than a separate transmitter and receiver here with a fabulous sculptural shape to the speaking end but it was significant and specific enough for someone to have carefully carved "July" into the face at top as the wood (pine I believe) has eroded some at the corners and especially on the Warwick side
