First Telephone made by L.M. Ericsson, 1878
1/5
Description
Geprägt mit: "2100V - 213SE - Recin & Bratt, Stockholm". Dies ist eines der allerersten Ericsson-Telephone von 1878-79. Es ist mehr oder weniger eine Kopie des Siemens-Telephons, aber Ericsson hatte einige Verbesserungen vorgenommen. In seiner Werkstatt begann er, Telegraphen, wissenschaftliche Instrumente und auch Telephone zu reparieren. Ende 1878 verkaufte er sein erstes eigenes Telephon. Einer der Kunden war Recin & Bratt, ein unabhängiges Unternehmen mit engen Verbindungen zu Stockholm Bell, da die Inhaber im Verwaltungsrat der Bell-Gesellschaft saßen und im Auftrag der Gesellschaft mit Telephonanlagen handelten. Es ist schwer zu sagen, warum dieses Ericsson-Telephon mit "Recin & Bratt" markiert ist, sie sind normalerweise mit "Ericsson" gemarkt. Der Grund könnte sein, daß Ericsson sich am Anfang nicht viel um Patentschutz usw. sorgte. Wie auch immer, dieses Telephon ist eines der wenigen, die mit dieser Markierung bekannt sind. Sehr wenige "Butterstamps" wurden hergestellt. Im Jahr 1878 36 Einheiten und 1879 74 Einheiten. Die Produktion dauerte bis 1882, aber die späteren Telephone haben gedruckte Anleitungen auf dem Sockel und sind numeriert. Die Anrufpfeife (leicht beschädigt) wurde von einem deutschen Hersteller aus Bakelit und Messing produziert. Höhe 19,5 cm. - Literatur: Für eine frühe Beschreibung der magnetischen Telephone und ihrer Entwicklung siehe Preece und Maier (1889), "The Telephone"; für einen Vergleich zwischen den Empfängern von Ericsson und Siemens & Halske siehe Povey und Earl (1988), "Vintage Telephones of the World", Abb. 1.7 und 1.8; Ken Bushell, Artikel: http://telephonecollecting.org/receiver.htm
Start Price: EUR 6.000
Stamped with: "2100V - 213SE - Recin & Bratt, Stockholm", with German brass and bakelite trumpet (minor damage), ht. 7 ¾ in. - Note: One of the very first Ericson telephones from 1878-79 and more or less a copy of the Siemens telephone but some improvements. Ericsson began by repairing telegraphs, scientific instruments and telephones in his workshop. In late 1878 he sold his own ?rst telephone. One of his customers was Recin & Bratt, an independent company with close ties to Stockholm Bell, as the owners sat on the board of directors of the Bell company and traded in telephone equipment on their behalf. It is unclear why this telephone carries their name rather than Ericsson’s own, however it is tempting to speculate that it is the only known example thus marked. Very few ‘butter stamp’ telephones were built by Ericsson: some 36 units in 1878 and 74 units in 1879. Production lasted until 1882 but the later are numbered and have instructions printed on the base. - Literature: For an early description of magnetic telephones and their development, see Preece and Maier (1889), "The Telephone". For a comparison between Ericsson and Siemens & Halske receivers, see Povey and Earl (1988), "Vintage Telephones of the World", figures 1.7 and 1.8; Ken Bushell article: http://telephonecollecting.org/receiver.html

Terms & Conditions
Auction conditions
1) The auction is carried out voluntarily under foreign name and on account of the customer.
2) The goods to be sold in the auction can be examined and checked at determined times before the auction – under the full responsibility and risk of the interested client. They will be put up for auction in the condition as they are without any liability for visible or hidden defects as well as for attributes; later claims of any kind cannot be taken into consideration. The descriptions in the catalogue are made to the best of our knowledge, but they are no guaranteed attributes in the sense of § 459 and following BGB. – Information ref. § 26 UStR is assured. – No right of return of any sold item, therefore please use the advantage of the previewing (also by your friends).
3) Normally the bids are increased in steps of 10 % of the initial price with a minimum of € 5.–. The auctioneer can deviate from this regulation in particular cases. The knocking down is done if no higher offer is made after the third repetition of the highest offer and if the limit price has been achieved.
4) The auctioneer can combine numbers, separate them, can offer them out of the sequence or can withdraw them. The bidding is done by showing the bidding number or by a written offer.
5) The auctioneer can refuse an offer; in this case the offer given right before remains binding. In case several persons make the same offer, the knocking down is decided by lot. In case of identical written offers, the computer makes the decision to the benefit of the first offer received. Decisive in this case is the point of time of its entry. If there is a disagreement on a knocking down or if an offer is made in time has been disregarded, the auctioneer can all the same knock down this bid and can follow-up the rights resulting out of this. He can also knock down to the next lowest bid or can start again with the initial bid of this lot.
6) The knocking down is binding. The goods must be immediately paid. The knocking down transfers the risk of possible losses, damages, mistakes to the purchaser. Each bidder buys in his own name and for his own account.
7) A premium of 21.8% plus 3% Live transaction fee has to be paid on the knocking down price. 16% tax has to be paid on the surcharge, i.e. the total surcharge amounts to 28.77%. The entire amount, which has to be paid by the purchaser, is immediately due and has either to be settled in cash, wire transfer or by guaranteed bank draft. In case of an acquisition by submittance of a written order, the payment has to be settled within 8 days after the invoice date.
8) The goods become the property of the purchaser only after the complete payment. The objects will only be delivered if the payment has been settled. Otherwise the goods are still the property of the consigner until complete payment. In case a payment does not reach the auctioneer in due time, the purchaser is liable without reminder for all resulting losses. Also without proof of a loss the interest for delay at the bank usual rate can be charged.
9) In case the payment is not settled in time or the objects are not taken, the auctioneer has the right either to demand the performance of the contract of purchase or can claim damages due to the non-performance. Independent from the above the auctioneer can also put this object for auction in one of the next auctions on cost of the purchaser. For the resale in the auction the bidder is treated as supplier and has to pay the corresponding order commission as well as the tax to be paid on it. All transportation and storing costs as well as possible charges for the employment of additional workers, which result in connection with the above, will be deducted from the net profits. The remaining profit will be balanced on the date of the actual inpayment with the claim for damages acc. to § 367 BGB.
10) The handing over of the objects bought in the auction is done at any time during and after the auction against presentation of the receipt. Invoices issued immediately after the auction are subject to the right of verification and possible corrections: errors excepted.
Bidders who are present at the auction must arrange the pick-up on the day of the auction. Otherwise the objects will be stored on account and risk of the purchaser without any further notice. The auctioneer does not bear the risk of storing.
11) Each shipment is carried out on the account and risk of the purchaser. Insurance possible on request.
12) Bidder orders are handled with great care; a guarantee for its setting up for auction can only be ensured if the written bidding order has reached the auctioneer latest at 12:00 am (noon) two days before the auction. The bidders unknown to the auctioneer are kindly asked to provide a satisfactory security before the auction.
13) The legal relation is based on the German law. Place of performance and legal venue for the mutual trade business is Cologne.
14) The visitor accepts the above conditions explicitly by his participation in the auction or by his offer.
