This wall set is later. Mid-late 1940s. TR&S (Dan McNulty) assembled the sets that look somewhat like a radio made late 30s or later. Old unwanted magneto wall and subsets were used for parts, New Leich hookswiitches and handsets were used

Interesting... I had the guts to an EE-8 Phone and yours has the same parts! talk about re-purposing! Nice phone!

I noticed no one has made the "FrankenPhone" reference.

I would not consider these to be "frankinphones" because they were factory assembled

As a child, there was a butcher/grocery store My grandmother traded at that had a phone just like that on the wall as a decoration.  Wouldn't the tel. & supply be Chicago tel. and supply?  (CTS)

CTS was a different company CTS made the Motgomery Ward and Sears telephones. CTS is still around making potentomers. TR&S was Chicago Telephone and Supply, a refurbisher of telephones, also called Dan Mak for Dan Mcnulty (sp)

CTS also makes car parts. They made Toyota gas pedals that were recalled.

I think $125 is way too much for this phone.
