Title: SOLD: British 232 Ivory phone
Post by: Vern P on February 14, 2022, 12:51:55 AM
I have had this phone for sometime, I know nothing about it.  Up for sale, BEST OFFER, as I don't know if this is a $10 or $1,000 phone. There is no damage other that the cracked cradle,  cords are great, some ware next to the handset.    I got this in Phoenix, AZ in 2009.  I am in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
This is "best offer", I am NOT running a auction, so DO NOT ask "what is the best offer".
This is posted to the 3 Facebook phone site's.    Make you best offer, and good luck.

I don't know about USA prices but here in the UK you'll struggle to get a decent 232 in Ivory for less than £200 (US$250). The damaged cradle does devalue it a bit of course.

£200 ish U.K. sounds about right to me too.

I saw this 232 on your other website posts Vern, just to give a bit more info on your phone, the dial card (No. 12 dial) is actually a London number; 01 935 xxxx is the 'St Marylebone' area.

The phone appears to have a correct lettered version dial (a No. 10 would be a nicer dial for this), and the handset is dated 1956 as is the phone base, so these appear to be original to each other.

Just my opinion, but CRPF is better place to turn to when requesting information rather than F-book.

Members here include worldwide collectors, plus the search facility offers up a library of knowledge.
