Automatic Electric Candlestick Telephone & Ringer Box Up for bids is this original gorgeous Automatic Electric candlestick telephone. It is NOT a reproduction but a fully restored original 1920's telephone and ringer box. Many hours were spent working on this phone and ringer box to bring them back to their original cosmetic and functional condition. Both the phone and ringer box were dismantled, bead blasted cleaned, sent out to a professional paint shop and then meticulously put back together and thoroughly tested. The telephone & ringer box were taken apart piece by piece (including the dial), cleaned, lightly oiled where necessary, tested and put back together and tested again. The transmitter has a new T1 type capsule to ensure quality sound transmission. The receiving sound is good especially considering it still has the original magnetic polarized receiver. The mouthpiece is made of Bakelite with no cracks or chips. New replica cloth cords were installed on the handset, between the phone and ringer box and the modular mounting cord that goes from the ringer box to a modern (RJ11) wall jack. This totally restored vintage 1930s telephone is fully functional on today's phone lines. Check with your dial tone provider however the majority will accept rotary/pulse signaling. It's ready to plug in and use! You'll be able to hold
