Antique Questions Forum / Vintage 1918 GE Rotary Phone

« on: January 28, 2009, 10:16:58 am »

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and come from Singapore. 

My uncle found some antique from overseas.  I tried surfing the net to see if such a phone exist, but until now, am unable to find any info at all. 

I stumbled onto this site (beauty of the Internet) and was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I have attached some pics for your viewing.  The phone has the following info on it:

- General Electic Co.
- TEL DIAL PAT USA 141913
- Dated 1918 Property of Americam

- Manufactured under license from Armour Research
- Foundation Chicago
- Patent Pending

- Compania Enterpriana De Telefonos S.A.

I really want to know if the phone he bought is really a vintage or just a replica since he paid pretty dearly for it. If you guys have any info, please feel free to email me at goldfishman16@gmail.com

Cheers,

Edgar
