Come and see the largest permanent display of GPO and other Bakelite telephones, working old fashioned telephones, ORIGINAL and vintage antique telephones for sale in eastern England. The British 1920's and earlier Candlestick, Bakelite 200 and Bakelite 300 series. The American 500. The ornate Belgian desk and wall phones. The classic Danish range from turn of the century magneto to 60's Bakelite telephones and the famous Queens' Silver Jubilee Telephone of 1977. I specialise in genuine Bakelite telephones. The 300 series is the type of Bakelite telephone used on the Noel Edmunds "Deal or No Deal" TV Show.
I can convert and repair these, and many more. There is now no minimum order charge for spares

The best selection of telephones for sale can be seen after re-stocking on a Saturday morning. There are also "SPECIAL PRICE" bargains to be seen in the shop.
Weekend opening times are 10.00 to 12.00 on Saturday and Sunday.
We are open 10.00am to 5.30pm 7 days a week with sales and assistance from Leslie next door and the antiques centre staff. But I am there only at the weekends.

 For directions to the shop, click here.

I now have a small selection of collectors telephones on display. These are mainly of a "one off" nature and are "sold as seen".

Workshop facilities are at Battlesbridge. I may be able to convert or repair your telephone while you wait.

I usually only sell restored telephones. But I do also have large stocks of telephones for sale that can be restored to order. All the telephones in this web site are in stock, but most will be waiting restoration. It is always worth enquiring, if the telephone you are seeking cannot be seen on my pages.
