I have this old Brass Kellogg candlestick phone; it has a Stromberg Carlson receiver.Phone marked Kellogg and has serial number 649134-L. The receiver is marked near the cord STROMBERG-CARLSON TELEPHONE MFG CO, E-BB (first B is backwards), and on the back side of the screw-on face is marked STROMBERG-CARLSON TELEPHONE MFG. CO ROCHESTER NEW YORK USA . BB-2 The top parts of the phone above the column seem to be solid brass with the bottom parts brass plated metal. There is some degradation to the brass plating in places, but I can not feel or see any dents or dings anywhere on the metal. There are only two of four very small screws holding the brass on behind the mouth piece, but it is tight. There is a crack in the bakelite on the mouth piece which you can see in the photo. It seems to be tight and no danger of coming apart easily. The receiver has a small chip on the front piece and you can see it clearly in the up-close photo. A little grime, but not too much. Some of the photos show all the details of condition, but casually looking the phone looks great and one doesn’t notice the small imperfections so much. I decided to check the finish of the brass a little, so I used a little Brasso on the base. I tried it on a section that seemed dulled a bit. What I found was that the dulled portion had lost its original manufacture applied read more
