Very old, vintage beige rotary dial telephone, please see photos as it does have some surface wear. It's marked on the underneath side of the ear piece "Bell System made by Western Electric F-1". I'm not positive, but I believe it's made of Bakelite. Unfortunately, I can't determine whether or not it works. It definitely needs the cords replaced, but I'm guessing the ringer works cause you can hear it ding when you set the phone down. I also have a 1970s Bell rotary dial telephone listed. Please visit my ebay store for a wide variety of antiques, collectibles, books and music. I'm always glad to combine multiple purchases to save on shipping whenever possible. Shipping quoted is for the lower 48 states, all others please email before bidding. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and THANKS for looking! It has no chips or cracks, just the discoloration that you can see in the photos. After looking closer, I found 2 hairline cracks in the mouthpiece cover (one on each end). Very sorry for the misinformation! I've added 4 new pictures of close-ups of the handset.
