ex-GPO 'pyramid' 312 telephone from about 1929. How many devices still work perfectly after 70 years? This phone isn't perfect but considering it's age it's done pretty well: the dial works smoothly (it's probably been replaced at some time) and it can be used on a phone system that accepts pulse dialling. The line cord has been replaced with a modern one with BT plug, but the old cord is included, also the handset cord is currently the brown cloth one and the more modern curly cord can be re-fitted quite easily. The bell works perfectly and it and the internals have not been modified in any way. The postage will be expensive as it's heavy but it can be collected from me and a cash payment made which would be far more preferable. It's currently in Edinburgh, but I can bring it down to Surrey (Weybridge). If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and thanks for looking. I've added a couple of pics of the case sides.
