Here is an original Western Electric candlestick telephone. It is the model 40AL and it has been restored just for you. This candlestick is a fully working telephone.
We have been restoring antique telephones for 18 years. We love what we do and it shows. 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.
The brass and steel has been stripped then freshly refinished.
You can talk thru its mouthpiece transmitter and hear on its hand held receiver.
Just look at the finish. The 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 by from Holland so it will wear well.
I think it would be very hard to find a nicer 40 AL candlestick and I hope that you agree.
