This telephone is in good working order. I purchased it at a second hand store and whoever owned it before had the phone rewired to fit a standard phone jack. The phone has normal wear but over all nice looking

Re: Telephone

This is what's called a " candlestick phone", after their resemblance to a candlestick. These have been reproduced, so without more information we can't really tell if it's the real thing or a repro. The originals with dials were made from about 1919 through the 1940's and often sell for over $400.00. The repro's sell for $75.00 and up.
