Very special Ericsson “eiffel tower” telephone, Skeleton telephone around 1895

This is the "Ericsson Royal" Telephone. The Ericsson skeletal desk set appears to have been produced in 1884 and was innovative in that it was not contained within a protective case. This was the world’s first telephone with a one-piece handset, and probably more familiarly known as “The Skeleton telephone”, or, to the British collector as the “No.16”. Almost all of the early prototypes are now housed in Museums. The handset model was dubbed the “Ericsson Royal”, as it was supplied initially to most of the Crowned Heads of Europe, and the National Telephone Company in England installed one in Windsor Castle at the command of Queen Victoria.
