Here's a specialty item of interest for just about any insulator collector. Vintage Western Electric all metal candle stick phone. Phone is exceptionally old and stamped WESTERN ELECTRIC on the head piece below mouthpiece and has Patented in USA Nov 17 ,91'- Nov 1- 92' on backside of headpiece. Everything is original on this phone including the cord and earpiece which is also stamped with WE and pats of Dec 4,1900 and March 26 1901.All electrical guts are in this phone and if you restored it it would probably work. The only problem with this phone in terms of damage is to the mouthpiece which I suspect can be replaced. Phone is very old and shows it's age and usage but overall is a great piece of early American Telephone technology. These usually sell between 150-$200.More pix on request. First email to me.... Asking $100 and I'll pay 1/2 shipping costs OR, I can deliver to the Ohio show free. Trades are also entertained, so don't rule out the possibilities. |
