CRANKPHONE

Another local cell phone made by the East German company RFT. Used in East Germany for the railway network. We can say that it is an OB 33 but made in East Germany and not of course by Siemens. The base plate is made of solid steel sheet while the housing, the hook switch assembly and the fork, as well as the handset and the crank screw are made of Bakelite. Released in the 1950s only in black. In Greece it was received by the RFT after the war and installed on the railway lines, replacing the telegraph. It was also used by Government Services until the mid-1990s.
