 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
This wonderful Western Electric Dial Wall Telephone is fully reconditioned and guaranteed to work. It was made in the 1920's. It is a model 653 which was upgraded by the Bell System to anti-sidetone for excellent sound quality. This is the wall model of the candlestick phone. IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL WESTERN ELECTRIC WALL PHONE THAT YOU CAN USE, THIS IS IT!
The 635A transmitter is the great sounding capsule type that is affectionately referred to by collectors as the Bull Dog transmitter. It is original and made of bakelite. The 706A receiver is also original, a great sounding capsule type, and made of bakelite. The transmitter and receiver were also upgrades made by the Bell System. This phone is NOT A REPRODUCTION! It is the real thing. The only new parts are the card on the dial and the nice brown cloth cords. It has a nice new PROFESSIONALLY APPLIED baked on black semi-gloss finish that matches the original, not a glossy spray can job. The dial is a WE #5 that makes a clicking sound when dialing. The phone's case contains the ringer, coil, and condenser. All my phones are totally dismantled, refinished, reassembled, and thoroughly tested two different times. As mentioned before, this phone is fully functional and ready to use. Just plug it into any standard modular jack. To make a call, pick up the receiver, dial the number, and talk. To receive a call, pick up the receiver after hearing the old bell ring, and talk. This is a great old telephone! Telephones like this, reconditioned and functional, have sold for over $600.00 on eBay. My reserve is much less than that. I want you to be happy with your purchase, so ask questions before bidding. Buyer to pay $24.00 for priority shipping and insurance. I accept money orders, cashiers checks, personal checks and Paypal. Personal checks will delay shipment until they clear. BID WITH CONFIDENCE! I have been restoring these phones for over 30 years and do all the repair work myself. I have sold over 500 of these restored phones on eBay. Check my feedback. NO BIDS FROM OUTSIDE THE USA WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL - NO EXCEPTIONS!
