The SEEANDBEE Telephone at the JKL Museum
While working on the cataloging project at the JKL Museum, we discovered a small ships telephone made by Kellogg. The telephone is located in the telephone museum’s section for telephones made for use outside and or in hazardous locations or for the use on ships.
This little black telephone is made from sheet metal and fitted with a transmitter marked “STEAMER SEEANDBEE” and “KELLOGG” on the faceplate. The receiver is secured with a nickel plated clamp to prevent it from falling.

JKL Museum cataloging project started
The JKL Museum has started a cataloging project using PastPerfect 5.0 Museum Software. All the telephone museum’s objects, photos, archives, and books will be added to a museum database.
It will take “some” time until everything has been described and photographed but it will be worth it.
One of the many benefits is the posibility to share the telephone museum objects online in so-called virtual exhibits.
