Description

Western Electric – 51AL Candlestick Rotary Dial Phone w/ Subset – Polished Brass

This phone is in very good condition with no damage and only a few blemishes on the dial. The polished brass finish is not perfect, but it has aged into a nice patina. The phone has been paired with a 684 Subset, and has been wired with a phone jack cable. The 5H dial spins and re-centers as intended. The dial plate has some yellowed sections, but it may be possible to remove it with a thorough cleaning. The receiver is in good condition with only a bit of scratching and paint marks on the element cover. The transmitter cup appears to be a reproduction. The phone and subset appear to be intact internally. This is an antique item, so some age wear is to be expected.

The item is untested and being sold as is.
