Neil's Ericsson Antique Beauty

Hello
I am a collector of mainly GPO British type telephones, but have bought an Ericsson telephone. I see you are an expert in this field and would appreciate it if you could identify the model No and the date of it for me. It is in fantastic un-restored condition and the bell rings on turning the crank handle when the receiver is in place. On the wiring diagram there is a No W.I.T.51 and I would assume this means it is a No51. I have found no records of that model only a No 59. I would appreciate any info you can tell me about this phone. Being a collector myself I would guess it is around 1910 but I am not sure. My web address is

It also has the numbers 252F and 1188004 stamped into the wood. I have sent a few pics, but if you need more detail etc I can take more pictures as I have a digital camera.
Many thanks,
Neil Carpenter

Hello Niraj
Thanks for the links , I will try them.
I found your site through a program called copernic which can be downloaded free from their site at www.copernic.com it uses about ten search engines at once and gives you ten of the results from each.
