The telephone is all metal and very heavy at nearly 6 pounds. It is embossed on the back of the base SIGNAL CORPS U.S. ARMY TELEPHONE TP-6-A ORDER NO. 21585 PHILA.-49-7 CONN. TEL.&ELEC. DIVISION. The phone is a bit rough looking with missing paint, a split in the coiled cord wrap at the point of attachment to the handset, erosion of the finish on the screw-on ear piece.

The telephone stood the trials of time, tribulation and combat and is in good working condition. Great for that military base movie set or for your personal command center.
