Vintage Wilkens & Co Ship Telegraph – Brass & Aluminum

This Vintage Wilkens & Co Ship Telegraph is an original maritime artifact made of brass and aluminum. It came from a working vessel and carries the engraved maker’s mark “Wilkens & Co Bremerhaven.”

Ship telegraphs let the bridge crew send commands to the engine room. This model shows orders from Dead Slow to Full Ahead and Full Astern. The handle still moves smoothly, and the internal bell dings when the lever changes position.

The brass faceplate shows natural patina from ship use, while the aluminum pedestal gives it strength. Mounted on a flanged base, this ship telegraph stands securely for floor display. It also works well in homes, restaurants, or offices that want true nautical style.

Collectors value the history of these instruments. Today, this piece offers both working movement and a striking decorative presence.

• Durable aluminum pedestal with flanged base
