Summary
A doll's house size telephone of the upright kind, made from silver-coloured metal (from 'Bella Vista' doll's house - inventory number 661761). The stand, which has the mouthpiece on a hinge at the top, has a circular base and a bracket at the side to hold the earpiece which is shaped like a long horn and painted black. The mouthpiece has a smaller horn also painted black, within a silver-coloured dish. A piece of green thread joins the mouthpiece to the earpiece. Some of the paint has been chipped off both pieces.
