About this phone:
Many hours of time went into restoring the telephone itself. It
was completely disassembled. Each component both inside and
outside of the phone right down to the smallest screw washand
cleaned and polished.
The body was repainted with care to be like the original.
The dialwas disassembled, cleaned, lightly oiled, checked for
calibration and worksnicely. The finger stop was polished
to a shine.Thedial number plate is the rural type with black
numbers. If you prefer the metro type with black letters
and red numbers let me know and I will change it.
The hook switch and dial contacts were cleaned with originalBell
Telephone Seal Bond paperspecially designed for the purpose.
The transmitter is the earlier type with a
Banana Tag that reads "AMERICAN TEL & TEL CO".
The receiver went through a 10 step polishing process to remove
scratches and bring it to a nice shine.The felt bottom was replaced with new.
A new line cord was installed so that it will fit into today's
modern land line jacks. Just plug it in.
The Candlestick requires aseparate ringer box in order to
function. This Oak Wood Ringer Box with outside Brass
Bells make for a nice display. It was completely taken apart and
the finish was reworked.
The phone is fully functional and tested. It dials out and rings
on incoming calls. It sounds like an old time phone.
If you prefer a different ringer box or dial card, I can change it
for you, just ask. The ringer bells can be brass, nickel or black.
All antiquerotary phones require a traditional landline
for dialingout. If you have another type of phone
service, check with yourprovider as you may need
a pulse to tone converter to dial out.They can be
purchased on and easily added to the end of
the phone line jack.
