1892 - Magneto set "Eiffel-Tower" with handset

This is one of the real classics of the telephony: popularly known as the "Eiffel-Tower" or "Skeleton" phone. It is manufactured in Stockholm by L. M. Ericsson in the period 1892 - 1929.

This model has been used almost all over the world and nearly a million was made. Its big popularity resulted in the fact that only in Denmark there were two factories that made imitations. The "Eiffel-Tower" has been used at all Danish telephone companies.

Wonder if the beautiful design of the set is the reason why it is a very attractive collector's item today.
