Milo Kellogg started his company in 1897. His phones were made between 1900 and 1920. The phone is in wonderful condition as all the internal components are there. the phone has not been restored to include either rotary or touchstone dailing to work on our modern system. The handset is still in one piece. Sometimes they get broken and then glued back together. The cabinet which I believe is oak is beautiful. this would make a great addition to a collection or that perfect antique look to any room.
