THE AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAPH OFFICE

By Ron McMullen

A tribute to an era that made a significant contribution to Australia’s History and the people who participated in it.

COLLECTOR: Ron McMullen.
I have been collecting Telegraph keys,  instruments and associated items for many years,  specialising in Australian keys,  but include telegraph keys from many countries in my collection. Since this is the only available collection of Australian telegraph keys and telegraph history, it will be particularly useful for serious telegraph historians and collectors.

If you wish to use them in publications or websites or offer them for sale to the public in any form, you must contact Ron McMullen at the address given below on this page.
