About This Item
Chicago: Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Company, 1066 West Adams St., [ca. 1930]. 4to. 224 pp. With 100’s of photos, text illustrations, & diagrams. Black publisher’s cloth, Art Deco silver lettering front cover & spine, company logo on front cover (minor shelfwear, slight wear to corners, very slight bumping to corners), still VG copy. First edition of this uncommon catalogue for the groundbreaking Art Deco line-up of Kellogg Masterphones and Masterbuilt Switchboards. Kellogg had pioneered the No. 1 Microphone telephone which was the first to integrate a transmitter and receiver in a single headset, and wrapped in a Bakelite case, which the Kellogg engineers renamed Kellite. This catalogue presents the stylish Masterphone line-up, which also included the Dial type wallmounted photos, while also still retaining wall phones, magneto phones, and others. The Masterbuilt Switchboards, and municipal switchboards were some of the most successful models in the industry. Kellogg (1849-1909) organized his company in 1897 in order to take advantage of the Alexander Graham Bell patents, while also building on the over 125 patents he had secured for magneto-multiple switchboard systems, and later for his GrabAPhone which changed the telephone industry. Worldcat locates 1 copy (Newberry); See: Milo G. Kellogg, Independent Telephone Hall of Fame (2021).
