| Police Post
These cast iron Police Posts allowed officers on patrol to keep in touch with their home station before personal radios. The public could also use the telephone in emergencies.
When a call was made from the station the light would flash and the bell would ring to attract the officers attention.
The post is fully restored with original Bakelite telephone, drop down writing ledge and locking compartments.
There are two liveries, light blue City of London (pictured) or dark blue Metropolitan Police.
An example of this rare piece can be found in Piccadilly Circus.
