Antique hand cranked wall phone produced in Chicago by the Swedish American Telephone Company in the early 1900's. This is the Hercules model which according to AI search was produced around 1908.
Height 25 inches, Width 9 inches, Depth of body is 5.5 inches, Depth to shelf is 12 inches (see photos). It weighs 25 pounds.
The crank still turns the magneto and rings the bells.
Condition is good but two notable defects are: 1) the bakelite crank has separated into two pieces and 2) there is a crack in the top of the box frame. See last 2 photos.
