Astral The Knightsbridge Reproduction Vintage Style Push Button Telephone

A reproduction corded telephone produced by Astral International Ltd., model The Knightsbridge. The unit is constructed from cream-coloured plastic with chrome-effect metallic accents designed to resemble a 1920s style candlestick or cradle phone.

The base underside includes sliding switches for pulse/tone selection and ringer volume (off/on). A manufacturer label on the underside identifies the maker as Astral International Ltd. of Stoke-on-Trent, England, and specifies the model as The Knightsbridge. The label also displays the BABT (British Approvals Board for Telecommunications) logo, a CE mark, and indicates the item was made in China.
