We often hear from people who have recently found our website,
and always wanted an original authentic black bakelite telephone,
but didn't know where to find them and, if they did ever
come across one, it was usually in poor condition, didn't
appear original, looked as if it might not work, or was
priced way beyond their budget. It is true that genuine
black 300 series telephones are difficult to find and, in
general, the best ones, such as the ones we sell on this
page, are sold mainly amongst collectors. The reason for
this is that these are rare telephones, and supplies are
generally very restricted. However, we recently decided
to make our black 300 series telephones more available to
members of the public who are looking for a genuine, high-quality
restored and working classic bakelite telephone, and who
wish to have the peace of mind that their investment represents
value for money, is protected by a guarantee, and can be
backed up with a full repair service if ever needed. Our
range of original 332 Telephones (300 series) black bakelite
telephones have been restored to full working order, and
represent excellent value for money. To anyone looking for
a classic standard British bakelite GPO telephone, we highly
recommend our black 300 series range. These phones will
work in every country and we always make sure the telephone
is delivered with the correct plug for your country's telephone
network (eg all telephones delivered here within the UK
are fitted with a standard BT plug). All telephones have
a 12 month guarantee. We also offer a full repair service.

Bakelite -
: Around the turn of the century, the Belgian born scientist
Dr. Leo Baekeland, working as an independent chemist, mixed
carbolic acid and formaldehyde to produce, quite by accident,
a beautiful and versatile substance which came to be known
as "Bakelite". Bakelite's many uses allowed it to become
a standard item in the family home of the 1930s and 1940s,
and was the standard material for making telephones during
this period. Although Bakelite could be produced in a number
of colours, it was rare that the telephone companies exploited
these possibilities; just like the early Ford motor car
- "you can have any colour, as long as it's black".
Customer Feedback:
Just to let you know that the 232 Phone Set arrived here
on Monday. This was purchased by my son, who is a collector
of antique telephones. I must say that the phone and bell
set are in excellent condition and my son is more than pleased
with it. It is installed in his home in Baltimore and is
operational. Many thanks - J.Foehrkolb
