Description

Northern Electric – Model N717CG Wooden Wall Telephone – Hand Crank Magneto

This telephone is in good original condition with some very minor damage to the case and minor wear of the finish. The case has some scratches in the finish, and some minor chipping of the wood in the top right hand corner of the backplate. The metal parts on the phone are in good shape, with no denting or cracks, and some chipping of the paint on the switch hook. The handset is a Northern Electric F1 with some minor surface wear from age, no deep scratching, and two intact element covers. The magneto cranks as intended, however, it does not generate enough power to ring the bells. The switch hook functions as intended, and the phone appears to be intact internally. This is an antique item, and has not been refurbished, so some age wear is to be expected.

The item is untested and being sold as is.
