It now rests on an associated GrabAPhone desk stand substantially of the same period.\u00a0 A line switch connects to the phone system when the handset is removed from a hook. This model of handset was introduced in 1907, though this particular one was manufactured no earlier than 1909 — the latest copyright date engraved on the receiver. It was shown in the Western Electric 1916 yearbook hung from a hook at the bottom of a rectangular wooden wall-mounted case. The GrabAPhone stand for the Western Electric handset on the offered example is by Federal, a small manufacturer that supplied independent telephone companies. They manufactured the GrabAPhone from 1907 to about 1918. Federal was a competitor of Western Electric. Indeed, the GrabAPhone model was originally manufactured and sold with a Federal handset.<\/p>\n Product description continued below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18752,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[6797],"product_tag":[7218,7216,7214,6853,2594,7215],"class_list":{"0":"post-18747","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-prop-rentals","7":"product_tag-antique-telephone","8":"product_tag-grabaphone","9":"product_tag-prop","10":"product_tag-prop-rental","11":"product_tag-telephone","12":"product_tag-western-electric","13":"post","14":"post-with-thumbnail","15":"post-with-thumbnail-large","17":"first","18":"instock","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=18747"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18747"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
