Candlestick telephones used a Bell receiver 1A (named after he) but some of the earlier ones belonging to pre-GPO instruments may have used a 'butter stamp' rec. variant.

But even the Bell receivers are worth a bob or two. Back in '82-ish I bought one at the Leeds radio rally, NOS, in a polythene bag, complete with desiccant and the phaeon arrow mark on the paper slip for 40p. I sold it on eBay about ten years ago for £36.

I wish I'd bought twenty!
