Alexander Graham Bell's First phone?

Good question!

There is a picture of it.

I wouldn't know how to explain it but I understand it. Wikipedia has a good source on it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_o...

Answer 2

Actually the picture of the phone mentioned in the previous post is incorrect.

Here is a link to the phone used to utter the first words.  This is only the transimitter that A.G. Bell spoke into.  Watson had a Gallows receiver that he listened on.  This first phone only worked in one direction.  In other words, Watson could not speak back to Bell.
