This impressive piece is made in genuine Continental Silver and is hallmarked 800 which stands for Continental Silver (800/000), together with traces of the Italian silversmith code. Its bold size and weight immediately give it an “important object” presence, making it far more than a simple miniature.

The phone is engraved with “UFAUTEL”, strongly suggesting a corporate provenance, possibly commissioned as an internal item, a display piece, or even something not originally intended for retail sale. This kind of detail is exactly what collectors love, because it turns a beautiful silver object into a small historical clue.

One of the most interesting features is the mechanical touch: it has a spring mechanism when the handset is “hung up”, adding realism and a satisfying vintage engineering element that makes it a true conversation piece.
