A very early L.M. Ericsson coin-operated public telephone, likely from Sweden circa 1900. An important early payphone design seldom seen in Australia.

Above- L.M. Ericsson coin telephone. Note- I do not believe that this was used in Australia. It was probably brought from the UK. Made by L.M. Ericsson Sweden, ca 1900.
Below- United Safe Toll Company coin box. c 1910. One of a number of coin box collectors used.
