Fully Restored Antique Brass 1904 Candlestick Telephone Start Price USD 175.00 Current Price USD 175.00 Time Left - Bid Count 0 Buy It Now Price - Reserve Price - Start Time Thursday, November 27, 2008 End Time Sunday, January 04, 2009 Location NYC See more about 'Fully Restored Antique Brass 1904 Candlestick Telephone' Description Here we offer a true relic of the 20th Century--a brass Western Electric candlestick telephone featuring a 1904 patent date.  This beauty is completely restored with a new, weighted composite receiver with modern electronics, but which untrained scrutiny cannot discern from bakelite.  The mouthpiece is original (with small chip--please see pic,) with excellent sound clarity, the cloth receiver cord is from an antique machine that a guy I know operates to produce true reproduction cords, and the telephone has been professionally rewired so that it can be plugged right into a modern phone jack.  A very nice restoration.   These phones have no dial or ringer (in those days the ringer was kept in a box on the wall, and you dialed by telling the operator your number,) but you undoubtedly will have a phone with a ringer elsewhere in your home.   This beautiful brass antique features an extra long cord (think for pacing the room like in "The Front Page.")  Get ready to be transported back to simpler, more romantic times (think the kiss scene in "It's a Wonderful Life.")   Please add $20 for very secure s&h.  Pay however you'd like, including credit cards through PAYPAL, GBP's and Euros.    Thank you for your interest! We welcome international orders, but we have been cheated in the past, so we must say here in writing that on international orders there will be no refunds or return of payment, unless you pay much extra than the stated shipping price for tracked delivery.  (That said, an honest person never need fear ordering from us without tracking--we are eager to please!)
