    Description

    Offered here is this original, c1920, "Talk-Lo" Pat. Appld. For  telephone mouthpiece amplifier, most likely made for a candlestick or wall mount phone. The device has the standard black bakelite mouthpiece to which has been crimped a nickel on brass bell with a fine mesh brass screen in center.   The idea is that the user did not have to speak as loudly, as the horn shape bell gathered sound more efficiently.  This aftermarket device is in excellent, original condition. When I purchased it over 30 years ago, it was still wrapped in its original tissue which is now lost. It is in excellent shape with bright nickel finish and no dents or scratches in the bell or screen. First and only one like this I have ever seen.  (see all photos)  Neat aftermarket accessory for that candlestick phone!
    Offered with no hidden reserve and a low starting bid.  Buyer to pay first class post and insurance. (4.00)   Combined post on multiple purchases.  Three-day inspection/ return on all items I offer if not as described.  US shipping only.   Thanks.
