    Bryant Pond Western Electric 300K/400K Telephone Ringer Crank Box with 48A 5 Bar Magneto complete with phone.
    37 years ago the Bryant Pond Telephone Company in Maine turned off its two magneto switchboards, ending the last magneto operated telephone company in the US. The switchboards now reside in the archives at the Maine State Museum in Augusta.
    These phones marked with the town of Bryant Pond are
    extremely
    rare since it is the last town in the United States to use the crank phone.
    The oak wood box is in good solid condition with cosmetic wear as shown in photos. It is in good condition for its age.
    It was not fully tested, t
    he crank turns and the bells have a beautiful ringing sound.
    Measures 8" x 11" x 6" and
    Dated May 14, 1914
    Marked as a 300K 400K
    The last call in Bryant Pond was made on October 11, 1983.
    Local pick up is available in North Andover, MA
