Collectors call it the Beehive for its tall, stacked and ribbed bakelite base. The base holds the hand-crank magneto generator and the ringer, beneath Leich's square-top handset housing. This set has no dial: you turned the crank to signal the operator, and there's a \"TEL. NO.\" number card where the dial would sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack bakelite square-top housing and handset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed bakelite \"beehive\" base with hand-crank magneto generator and ringer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber card window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-prong cradle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrown cloth-covered handset cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a great piece for an art-deco or magneto telephone collection, a 1930s–40s room, or a period film set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold as-is and untested.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has not been tested or refurbished, and no guarantee of function is given.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68351033344223,"sku":"30465","price":356.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/8704\/4831\/files\/leich-beehive-black.jpg?v=1793400855","url":"https:\/\/oldphoneworks.com\/products\/vintage-leich-black-magneto-beehive-telephone-model-86","provider":"oldphoneworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
