I'm still intrigued how a 1950s wall-mounted instrument from NZ ended up over here, being sold by a house clearance outlet on eBay.

N.
Did it come from Cornwall? I brought quite a few back getting on for twenty years ago. I had a friend (into telephones' since we were at school together in the 1950's!) in Cornwall who sadly passed away about four years ago and his wife had a clearout to a Steve..... who had lots of his Strowger bits and pieces for sale on eBay. It may have come from him?
Yes, Steve in Redruth!
