Description

Northern Electric No.5 Desk Set w/ Model N500CG Subset Ringer Box

This desk set and subset are in good original condition with some surface wear and no other damage. The desk set has some staining and surface wear to the Bakelite, as well as some white speckling throughout. There is no damage to the case and it could likely be buffed to a shine. The handset has some more significant surface wear, with significant pitting on the receiver element cover. The subset was refinished at some point with a very dark stain or paint, and it has significant edgewear and blemishes throughout. The magneto cranks and rings the bells as intended, however the mounting of the ringer unit is a bit loose. The internals of both the desk set and subset appear to be intact. 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.
