The Automation Electric AE50 'Jukebox' Monophone is a vintage phone manufactured in the United States during the 1930s to 1940s. This monophone features the unique 'Jukebox' design and is in its original form, making it a rare and historical piece for collectors.
The Automatic Electric Company, originally known as Strowger Automatic Telephone Exchange Company, was founded in 1891 by Almon Brown Strowger in Chicago, Illinois. Strowger, an undertaker, invented the automatic telephone exchange to prevent operators from routing calls to his competitors. This innovation led to the development of the first automatic telephone exchange, revolutionizing the telecommunications industry.
Automatic Electric's Monophone, particularly the AE50 model, became a symbol of Art Deco design in the 1930s and 1940s. Its distinctive 'jukebox' shape and Bakelite construction made it a stylish and functional addition to homes and businesses.
