Check the pictures as they are a part of the description.
The four hinged Oak case is in excellent condition and retains its original finishes. Hinges are tight and the screw driver operated door latch keeps the door secure. Door is not warped. Overall oak mounting plate size is 7 1/2" wide, 10 1/2" high and the box itself is 6" deep.
This unit appears mostly complete and all original with original patinas throughout. The crank works and the various components appear original. The interior also looks pristine for its age. The original cloth wiring appears to be in great condition but the cord for the candlestick earpiece has lost much of the wiring outer wrap, Both the mouthpiece and earpiece are in great shape and showing normal wear.
I usually ship the next business day after receipt of cleared payment. I ship USPS to US destinations only.
