Here is abeautiful RARE Cannon "LOS ANGELES" Police Call Box Telephone. This isNOT a replica Police Call Box, but absolutely authentic. However, I got this at an estate sale so I’munsure as to how much restoration has been done, if any, but I’m confident that any andall restoration ...was done faithfully and with excellent workmanship. The PoliceBox is made of cast aluminum with embossed and engraved metal name plates. Thepolice box has a locking front door with an authentic key. Inside thePolice Call Box is a beautiful vintage phone that looks to be in workingcondition. The dial moves perfectly andlooks great. It is wired to work withcommon phone jacks, but I am unable to test as my phone jacks are dead. But this phone should work well with standardhome phone jacks.It also hastwo dialing cards bearing codes for different offices and precincts, both in great condition. They give numbers for offices at Parker Center. Parker Center was the headquarters for theLos Angeles Police Department from 1954 until October 2009 and is located indowntown LA at 150 N. Los Angeles St. Often called "The Glass House", the building was named for former LAPD chief William H. Parker. It has since been demolished.The Gamewellcompany made the vast majority of Police Call Boxes, but two other companieswere employed, one being Cannon, so this call box is much rarer that theGamewell call boxes.The Cannon Electric Development Corporation started around 1900 at was based in Los Angeles CA.Dimensions (approx.): - Height = 17-1/2" - Length = 11-1/2" - Width = 7"Dimensions do not include overhang of roof
