For Sale: Vosper voice powered ship's phone pair

[Hans Mulder]

Ah, forgot the provenance. According to the farmer, the phones came from a relative who was a dockyard worker for the USN sometime in the 60's who was working on decomissioning a WW2 Liberty Ship. However, Vosper is a old British firm so not sure about the connection. Anyways, some of the phones had small slips of paper (parts labels?) inside that read "London Telephone Co" with part #'s etc (they disintegrated when I originally rebuilt the phones so maybe they we a cooperative wartime effort or built under license from Vosper or London Telephone Co?

Research indicates that Squid was a British depth charge mortar used on corvettes, etc, so it is more likely than not that the relative was a Canadian working on a commonwealth ship in Canada and liberated these phones, but the above is the story as told.
