We love vintage communication-related collectibles. There are a large number of collectors of vintage phones and related technology, and this item fits very well that category, especially since it's not residential and it's originating from a business organization. For sale today we have a vintage dictograph, with a lovely golden-plated company name on one side.

Condition: it was not tested so we do not know if it works. Unless you specialize in this field, it probably won't matter to you since it is a great decorative piece. Any collector, especially those interested in the history of the communication industry, would be happy to display it in their home or office. The box has one corner a bit damaged and of course chips and scratches, considering its age and its many years of function.
