For sale is a vintage rotary dial telephone model 'Dawn' by “Northern Telecom”. The 'Dawn' rotary telephone was manufactured in Canada during the 1970s and represents a distinctive era of telecommunication design. This model features a unique low-profile 'pancake' or 'donut' shape with a brass trim accent, departing from traditional upright telephone designs of the period. The rotary dial mechanism was standard technology before the advent of touch-tone phones, requiring users to physically rotate the dial to input each number.

Vintage rotary telephones like the ‘Dawn’ model are highly sought after by collectors of telecommunications history, retro home decor enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century modern design aesthetics. These phones represent a tangible connection to pre-digital communication and are valued both as functional conversation pieces and nostalgic decorative items. The distinctive brown colour with brass detailing makes this particular model especially appealing to collectors who appreciate the design sensibilities of 1970s Canadian manufacturing.

Presented in fair overall condition (note a break on the earpiece to the plastic cover - see photo). Wear consistent with age and use. Some slight loss on the base of the brass detailing. NOT tested - selling as is. A rare find!

Offered for sale at $50 (or best offer).
Serious inquiries only, please.
