Here is an original Western Electric candlestick telephone. It is the model 20PC and it has been in a collection from Illinois for decades. This candlestick is a fully working telephone. This candlestick  telephone is different because its black with nickel. 

  The Western Electric receiver shell is marked and the receiver cord is its nice original cloth covered cord.

Your friends will be truly amazed to see you using it or to hear your voice on something from the year 1915. We have installed a matching brown  cloth line cord with a modular end so you just plug it in and enjoy - It works fully as an extension phone.

You can talk thru its mouthpiece transmitter  and hear on its hand held receiver.

The Nickle has a nice finish and so is the black finish.  receiver has perfect embossment on the top with logo and patent dates (not shown).

The  mouthpiece has the Western Electric Star in the middle.

The reciever cap also has A T & T with patents.

The bottom part also is stamped as you can see Western Electric. 

We have installed not cheap felt but instead the best felt you can buy from Holland so it will wear well.

I think it would be very hard to find a nice 20PC candlestick in nickle and black finish
