Earlier Models

Patterns available then were Haworth, Old Country Roses, Trillium, Moss Rose and Tiffany.  These can be seen in the Nimans 1989 catalogue.

These telephones were just called the Royal Albert in earlier catalogues.  They are also very similar to the Aynsley model.

All patterns are shown to the right.

Earlier models before 1993 were produced in dial or MF variants. 

MF dial before 1992 had a standard 3 x 4 square style keypad.

Approval Numbers - S1214/3/C/450002-32 and 503382.

The round version with 14 buttons was then introduced and this changed later to 12 buttons.

The earlier dial and Press Button models can be found in the Nimans 1989 catalogue.

These telephones are no longer produced.

See also the Aynsley collection of telephones. which were the same shape as these but patterns were by Aynsley.
