GPO Telephone dials
A No 10 Dials always have a fat curved finger stop while a No 12 dials have a thinner‘HOUNDS TOOTH’ finger stop
Please note all GPO dial have a finger stop directly next to the number 0 with no gap.
I have recently found a good old telephone blog site that is worth visiting if you are interested in British GPO telephones. Please let me know what you think, or if you find better sites.
When restoring an old telephone I would recommend replacing the original 1950's carbon granule transmitter with a 1970's electret transmitter. However this is a personal choice as it improves the sound quality but slightly diminishes the antique value (although it is easy to convert it back).
I am currently cleaning a few British bakelite 300 series telephones. Bakelite is the first plastic and although these phones are over 50 years old they look perfect when you spend a few hours cleaning them. I display these Bakelite Dial Telephones on my own website
