The JKL Museum is a collection dedicated to the preservation of all aspects of telephony. Welcome to our site |
| The JKL name is the creation of the owner, John K La Rue, whose initials just happen to appear above the number 5 on most telephone dials. The rebuilt collection includes telephones and related equipment from all over the world, from as early as the 1870’s to present day. Among our many goals is to have working telephones and demonstrations from all eras, and to interconnect working telephones by way of the collections extensive “central office” switching system. The collection includes a library of telephony publications, including catalogs, brochures, and telephone company publications. The collection is still growing by acquiring private collections, donations of library materials, and purchases from private and public sources.We hope you enjoy a visit to our museum website by viewing the many photographs we have assembled of the old collection in a variety of categories. You may see items that we own in duplicate and we’re always willing to discuss trades to acquire items to enhance our museum’s collection. If you have questions or would like to talk with any of us, please send us an email. |
