    Up for auction this beautifully restored original Western Electric 51AL "Candlestick" Telephone the 1930s and 40's. This has been totally refurbished and rewired to work right out of the box with a 534 Metal Ringer Box. The  Body, fingerwheel, perch, cup and numbercard have been professionally powdercoated a gleaming black. It has a new era correct brown cloth receiver cord.  There is a new 6 foot black modular cord from the ringer box to plug into the wall.  There is a new brown 6ft cloth "umbilical" from the phone to the ringer box. The box has also been powdercoated, it's in very good condition, no dings or dents of note. It has a very nice Number 2AA dial that has been cleaned and adjusted to Western Specs. It has a newer notched numberplate. All numbers are crisp and clear. It has the original 337 transmitter with the original "Starred" mouthpiece. The faceplate retains its original finish. We've applied new felt to the bottom. It has the original 143 magnet receiver that has been buffed and polished. There  are 2 small chips on the cap as shown, but no cracks or damage. This phone will work on any STANDARD landline. Certain newer modems or other VOIP phones systems will require a "Pulse to Tone converter" to dial out. These are readily available online, otherwise, it's an answer only telephone.
