This auction is for a very a very rare 1920's Stromberg-Carlson phone. It is in very good condition for its age. I have looked all over the internet and have not found another one like this one. I have found descriptions of it though. It is either #890 or #950. It also comes with an extra inside guts. It has a diagram of the phone (was on the inside door of the case)but it is coming apart so I put it in a plastic bag, see pics. You open the phone by pressing on the silver button on the front and lifting the lever up and to the let and swinging the door to the right. It is very heavy due to the iron casing. About 70 lbs. If you need more pics just email and I will provide them. This will be a great addition to any antique phone collection. buyer to pay for shipping UPS.
