Telephone Bell

c. 1880

View All Objects
Telephone Bell is likely one of the companies formed to produce Bell telephones in Europe.

The Bell Telephone Company was created in 1877. A related company, New England Telephone and Telegraph was created in 1878. The two companies merged 1879, becoming the National Bell Telephone Company.

In 1880, the National Bell Telephone Company merged again and formed two companies: the American Bell Telephone Company (based in Boston) and the International Bell Telephone Company (based in Brussels, Belgium). International Bell began to compete with American and European companies in the telephone market in Europe.
