Henrik Lundin's Telephone Collection - A Life's Work
14 Jul 2024 · Auktionshuset Kolonn
Kolonn presents an impressive telephone collection consisting of rare and iconic telephone models. Henrik Lundin bought his first telephone, a BC 310, for one Swedish crown when he was 16 years old. After graduating from telecommunications technology he worked for Swedish Televerket, the state-owned corporation in charge of all telecommunications, and also further developed his interest for telecommunication during his time with Signaltrupperna, the Swedish signal corps. During the last 50 years Henrik has built an extraordinary collection of telephones. In the collection you will find everything from lovely wall telephones to various table telephone models from several decades. You will also find micro telephones, telephone catalogues, military telephones and much more.
The highlight of the auction are the two "Cobra telephones" signed by their designer Gösta Thames.
