Wall telephone from Kjøbenhavns Telefon Aktieselskab (KTAS). Scandinavia, late 19th century - early 20th century. Wall-mounted telephone from the company Kjøbenhavns Telefon (later known as Kjøbenhavns Telefon Aktieselskab or KTAS) with rear features, including a cover for the dial wheel and space for a telephone directory or similar item beneath the device. An earlier company was founded in Copenhagen in 1881 (Kjøbenhavns By-og Hustelegraf, which began in 1879); the Danish branch of the American International Bell Telephone Co. was established in 1880 and is considered the precursor to KTAS, registered in 1884 (two years after beginning operations in 1882; this company acquired the other two mentioned).
