ITEM DESCRIPTION
By the early 20th century,
Gebrüder Bing
was the largest toy company in the world, and Bing's factory in Nuremberg was the largest toy factory in the world. Although Bing produced numerous toys, it is best remembered today for toy trains and live steam powered toys.
As well as producing their own range of toy trains, track and trackside accessories and buildings, and manufacturing for Basset-Lowke,
Bing also produced toy boats, ships, cars and trams, as well as magic lantern equipment and slides, optical equipment, electric and steam motors and components, hot air engines, induction coils and other experimental electrical equipment including Gessler and Rontgen tubes, dynamos, powered fountains, science kits, and early telephone equipment.
Bing produced numerous items for export which were then sold either under its own name or for other companies.
In this case we offer an
antique and ultra rare carbon microphone (it can be considered as one of the earliest and most primitive microphone). This rare apparatus has been made in Germany by
Gebrüder Bing for Kristiania (a famous Norway Telephone Company).
Made between 1880 to 1915. It has the number 908 (probably serial number).
Original antique condition and incredibly preserved.
A really amazing museum piece for demanding collectors.
