The telephone being offered for auction has been painstakingly restored and made completely operational once again. If you purchase one of our telephones and are unhappy with it, return it to us within 30 days for a complete refund. at WE-CO, we have been collecting telephones for three decades and have between three hundred and five hundred vintage and antique phones on hand. We have only recently started selling some of our fine telephones to the public, on ebay and privately. For auction with a buy it now price of $400.00 is a carefully restored WESTERN ELECTRIC B1 model 102 round base desk phone that was manufactured in the late 1920's. This model telephone succeeded the very rare WESTERN ELECTRIC AA-1 model of 1926 and preceded the WESTERN ELECTRIC oval base 202 set of 1929. Our phone makes and receives calls and rings on incoming calls sounding like a real telephone should with a melodious telephone ring not found in today's modern phones. It has been disassembled, cleaned, repaired and adjusted to become fully functional once again. We have attempted to retain as many original parts in this telephone as was practical thus showcasing our 75-year-old telephone's character and saluting the bygone craftsmanship of WESTERN ELECTRIC . The original factory paint of the telephone case was in very good condition, it was cleaned and hand polished revealing much of its deep original luster. The brown cotton covered cambric handset cord is original, the mounting cord has been replaced with new top quality factory fresh stock. The dial is a WESTERN ELECTRIC number 2 (clickety click) which was factory converted to a number 4 and has a metropolitan "Z" type dial face, with the original number card and nickel plated number card holder. The base felt covering is in like new condition and is again original to this set. The early "E" handset, original to this phone, has the much sought after early "bullet" style transmitter for that distinct antique telephone sound. The 634 subset which was then and is still necessary for the proper operation of this type telephone, comes with several feet of cord between it and the phone. The subset is also equipped with a "modular" mounting cord and RJ-11 plug for easy do-it-yourself hook up. If you're looking for a great old collectable phone that has been sensitively restored and yet kept quite close to original, look no further. New owner pays USPS shipping and optional insurance fees on this very nice and very collectable WESTERN ELECTRIC classic.
