As Received From the late David Charles Collection.
A DeVeau Wooden Fiddleback Telephone In a Crate.

This phone arrived packed in a crate as part of the late David Charles Collection from Toronto. It was painted white, had some damage, was missing the shelf, and overall was in pretty rough shape.

DeVeau Wooden Fiddleback Telephone before restoration.

What you see now is a testament to Daryl Kling’s craftsmanship. There are still a few interior parts missing that need to be tracked down, along with the correct faceplate. For now, it is fitted with a Stromberg faceplate.
