Telegraph Receiver Printer Morse Printer 1930-40’s

Collectibles

 

Here is a Morse code telegraph receiver and printer. The device uses a wind-up Geneva mechanism to print out incoming Morse code on to a reel of tape (ticker tape). I believe that it can receive and print two different messages at the same time.

This piece is all brass and metal construction. The Geneva mechanism is housed inside the brass box. The box presently has brass panels on the top and back but I’ve seen some of these units with glass panels so one can see the workings of the gears inside the box. The brass panels slide out easily and I think they can be easily replaced with glass if desired.

The machine is in excellent condition. The brass has been cleaned and polished and it should be in perfect working condition. The inkpad is present, the only thing missing is the actual reel of paper.

Weight is about 16 lbs. Size is 11" X 5" X 7".
