Wood wall-mounted telephones were the first phones put into wide circulation following Alexander Graham Bell's invention in 1876. Typically tall and bulky, they needed several compartments to hold the batteries and magneto (a hand cranked generator to signal the operator). The earliest (and most valuable) wood phones were hand crafted of walnut. Later wood phones were mass-produced of oak, up through WW2.
