THIS NFT is part of the Star Theater RDO RP Game (STRP)1. It features a very popular telephone, the “1892 Eiffel Tower Telephone”. This phone did exist in real life, but it is used as a game item in the Star Theater RDO Game.
This is the 4th trading card we have produced. We are releasing only 125 limited editions of this NFT.
The real “Eiffel Tower Telephones” were originally manufactured in 1892 by L.M. Ericsson & Co., Sweden2. However, these NFT fictional telephones are intended to be used as virtual game items for the Star Theater RDO RP Game.
THE STORY
The Eiffel Tower Telephone made it to our virtual game world, the ST Horse World, in 1896. That’s when Hans Frederick Andersen imported this first shipment from L.M. Ericsson. Andersen is a Swedish immigrant and Executive VP of Lanik Electric Company.
The phones arrived on Aug. 15, 1896 and are being distributed in coordination with Trill Telephone Company as more phone lines are constructed across the states. Trill Telephone previously provided only standard telephone equipment. However, the new Eiffel Tower tabletop version is the talk of the town!
Individuals may either buy the phone through their local mercantile, or place an order with the Trill Telephone Company. It is recommended that if you do not yet have a telephone line to your home, or to your local area, you best order the Eiffel Tower phone now before they sell out.
INTERESTING FACTS
The Eiffel Tower Telephone was one of the first telephones to incorporate microphone and receiver elements into a single handset and one of the first free-standing telephones designed for a table top. Prior to this, nearly all telephones were wall mounted.
A wall-mounted telephone was a convenient solution to concealing the circuit lines, which were safely contained in the wall cavity. However, it required the user to stand by the wall and speak into a fixed microphone while holding a receiver to their ear. The ability to sit down at a desk to take or make a call must have appealed to many established and new telephone users.
This telephone, known as the ‘Eiffel Tower’, presents a unique design with all the elements of the phone visible. The magneto (electrical generator that provided the ringing current), bells, wiring and handset are all mounted off the forged iron frame. It was popular and remained in production from 1892-1929, with sales of a million units over that period. The design was copied by several manufacturers.
LIMITED EDITIONS
Each NFT represents one of only 125 telephones shipped to St. Denis from Sweden. Thus, it is a Limited Edition Production.
