Up for sale is a pair of uncommon porcelain telephone styles. At left is a U-108 NN Thomas made of dry process porcelain and with a somewhat unusual mottled burgundy glaze with very light highlights on the upper wire ridge. At right is a U-1192 dry process keg with recessed embossed markings on the base that reads "MADE IN CANADA" on one side and "STROMBERG-CARLSON" for the famed telephone supply company on the other. This piece is most likely a product of the Hamilton Porcelain company of Hamilton, ON.

The U-108 is VNM with no visible damage. The U-1192 has a small red-stained (rusty) scratch and a tiny fleabite on the upper wire ridge on one side. The STROMBERG-CARLSON part of the embossing is also quite light - possibly from being ground down or just poorly molded during manufacture. It is still easily legible, though, so not too bad.

Now asking $7 USD plus shipping for the U-108, and $10 USD plus shipping for the U-1192. I'd also accept $15.00 USD plus shipping for the pair. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
