Model 1908 / Design 08
Based on a 1908 model

Introduced in 1908 this is a small desk phone generally known as the KTAS D08.  It was made by Danish firm, Telefon Fabrik Automatic A/S, and looked of similar appearance to an earlier phone produced by Zweitusch & Co. in Germany.  It was made in CB and automatic versions (1927), in black and later ivory, and had a small call meter mounted on the top panel.

The D08 is one of the world's classic phone designs and has been widely copied.

Expoga refurbished and resprayed the telephones, in many cases not retaining original components.
