  • Condition: This is an antique telephone switchboard made by The Autocall Company, Shelby, Ohio. It is in surprising good condition. On the bottom the feet are intact. They look like they are missing rubber pads. The manufacturer's metal plate is clean. The metal housing needs to be cleaned. The switches on the front work nicely. The design looks art deco, which would date this to the early parts of the 20th century. Thank you.

    Description

    Autocall Model 3730.
    Antique switchboard.
    Manufactured by The Autocall Company, Shelby, Ohio.
    The company history is online and shows a new factory in 1912.  Wikipedia.org also features an article.
    The company made fire warning systems.  This switchboard may or may not be a part of that business.
    Another photo in the company history shows a standard switchboard with operator.
    This item is in very nice shape, showing no damage, and looking like it was well cared for.
    It is very heavy.
    Thank you.
