Antique Golden Oak Wall Mount Telephone Western Electric 1914 Complete Brass

Description

For auction is a beautiful golden oak wall telephone produced by Western Electric. It carries a last patent date of 1914. The bells, receiver hook, and speaker frame are brass making it a very attractive instrument. As far as I can tell, the guts are complete meaning they have not been modified with newer components to make the phone functional but the new owner can certainly have those modifications made. The case has been striped of its original dark finish to expose the oak. The case has one tiny crack near the upper hinge on the side but this does not interfere with either the aesthetics or function of the phone. The case measures 20 1/2" by 9 1/2" by 8 1/2" tall including the wood rack under the speaker
