Fuld & Co AG, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 1929 This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a true icon of the Modern Movement. The actual designer is unknown, but legend has it that it was conceived within the Dessau Bauhaus. deutscher werkbund Materials: The body of black lacquered metal with chromed metal dial. Size: It measures about 13.5 cm in height by 15.5 cm in depth and 11 cm in depth. The length of the earpiece is about 25 cm. Condition: Very good original condition. There is some minor surface patination consistent with age and use and a couple of minor bumps to the casing, but no splits, cracks or other significant damages. It retains it a vintage cloth cable to the earpiece. I have decided not to update the wiring because of its importance and rarity, so is sold without guarantee of functionality on modern phone system (although this should not be difficult to achieve). This is truly a museum quality item in original condition. References: Heinz Hirdina, Das Neue Frankfurt: Neues Bauen, Neues Gestalten (New Buildings, new forms), Dresden Verlag der Kunst, 1984. Original advertisement reproduced from the Bauhaus era avantgarde design periodical Das Neue Frankfurt (see final picture) .

Payment and Postage Paypal is accepted and I do not add a surcharge to cover their fees. UK buyers only may also pay by cheque or postal order. If it's a cheque, please allow 7 to 10 days for it to clear. It may be possible for overseas customers to pay by another means, such as bank transfer, by prior arrangement. All buyers please make contact within 3 days of auction. Payment is required within 7 days. I ship worldwide and UK and overseas postage prices are usually included in the description, but please do not hesitate to ask for a quote if you cannot see them. I always recommend insured postage for the buyer's peace of mind and make this available as an option. Other shipping options are also available upon request. Non-payment All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. Believe me it is becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder. If you have any doubts, please do ask before bidding. Condition of items Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique objects and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs. Vintage electrical items Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description, vintage electrical items are always sold in their original condition without electrical guarantee, so should always be safety checked by a qualified electrician in the country of intended use before use. Returns Returns may be made, if reported within 7 days and by prior arrangement only, if a mistake has been made in the listing and the item is not as described, but for no other reason. I'm afraid that straightforward buyer's remorse does not qualify and the cost of return postage is not included in any refund. k Thanks very much for taking the time to read this and best of luck with your bidding! |
