Antique 1906 Oak American Electric Wall Telephone 5 Magnet Crank Works

This antique solid oak wall telephone was produced by American Electric circa 1906. Featuring a rare 5 magnet design, it exemplifies early 20th-century craftsmanship and technological innovation. Manufactured before 1940, this piece is ideal for collectors of vintage telephones or Americana. The crank mechanism is functional, and the bells ring intermittently when cranked.

The microphone stands 7 1/2 inches tall. The base measures 25 inches long, 7 1/2 inches wide, and 5 inches tall, excluding the microphone and writing pad. The base has some wood splitting at the bottom, consistent with its age. A unique and well-preserved item that adds character and history to any display.
