The interior retains its Kellogg-marked magneto and early wiring and electrical components. The telephone shows considerable age and use, including scratches, finish wear, marks to the rear mounting board, aged wiring, and evidence of previous repair or alteration. Operational condition is unknown, making this best suited for restoration, architectural display, or a collection of early communications equipment. Comparable Kellogg oak crank telephones are identified as early-20th-century pieces, with examples appearing in both collector and decorative-design markets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eEra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nEarly 20th century, circa 1900s–1910s.
