Willys-Overland Administration Building Phone |
This phone is one that came from the Willys-Overland Administration building. It is a Automatic Electric Model 40 Monophone. This model was introduced in 1938. This combined phone includes all the components required to operate within the casing, eliminating the need for an external network subset and ringer.
The AE40 is a graceful example of art deco design. These rugged phones were made of solid bakelite and were available in a variety of colors with various trim options.
This particular phone was made on November 23, 1941.
