<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 148423, member: 44"]Welcome to the forum. At the moment I haven't any real help in dating this phone. I found some with similar mouth and ear pieces on ornate bases. For example, this one the seller is calling a "Marharaja" phone. No date is even suggested.</p><p><a href="http://orpheus.en.ec21.com/ORNATE_BRASS_MAHARAJA_TABLE_PHONE--85886_87042.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://orpheus.en.ec21.com/ORNATE_BRASS_MAHARAJA_TABLE_PHONE--85886_87042.html" rel="nofollow">http://orpheus.en.ec21.com/ORNATE_BRASS_MAHARAJA_TABLE_PHONE--85886_87042.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The same website has another one with similar ear and mouth pieces but not an ornate base that are call replicas.
