What a wonderful phone!
I recently purchased an Automatic Electric Monophone AE40 phone from Old Phone Shop. It arrived perfectly packed and it looked like it had come off the assembly line the day before. The bakelite ‘s surface is shiny and perfect. Every visible screw is undamaged and looks brand new. The patent decal on the bottom. Looks like it was applied a week ago. It feels like I’ve traveled back in time. The phone works perfectly. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy having this on my desk with my 1945 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter and my old-fashioned yellow banker’s lamp. It completes the look of my new old-fashioned office. It’s awesomely inspiring. Thank you, Old Phone Shop, for your meticulous care!
