SOLD -- ***FOR SALE***W.E. #10 Candlestick - NOT MINE

[HarrySmith]

A member on the lists is offering an early WE candlestick. I am cross posting it here for him. I added one of the pictures from the ATCA website but it is pretty small. More on Facebook. You can contact him directly: sargeguy.ri@gmail.com.
Here is his original description:

For sale one black/two-tone Western Electric No. 10 candlestick. Ex New
Jersey Pioneers Museum. The phone is in excellent overall condition. It
features it's original black paint on the base, and an original nickel
*229* transmitter head. The felt on the base plate is still intact. it
features an original red/blue cord and 122AW OST receiver.

There is some damage to the wooden base, with a chunk of wood missing from
a 1.5" section of the base, and two other minor chunks.  One of the four
baseplate screws is missing.  There is a small chip in the 122AW cap.

$1800

If the candlestick does not sell at my asking price I will be lowering the
price by $50 each day until it does or meets my reserve.  The first person
to type "BIN" or e-mails me "BIN" wins.  I accept Venmo or Paypal. Paypal
Goods and Services add 2%.

Pictures can be found on the ATCA web site or Facebook page:

Followed by an update:

Additional information-

The phone is likely a reissue from sometime after the #10 had been replaced
by the 20-B.  The later no-date back cup and lack of a "thumb screw" point
to this, as does the *229* transmitter instead of a 7-digit.
There appears to be traces of nickel plating on the inside of the base, so
some or all of the parts were likely stripped and painted black before it
was reissued.
There is a "10" printed on the terminal strip
There was some light gray paint/crud that is visible in one picture that
has since been cleaned off.
There is a slight warp in the baseplate that cause the phone to lean
forward (or backwards) but the phone itself is straight

PRICING-a black #10 just sold for $1955 at the Sims auction on Sunday. My
phone is currently $200 less.  While the Sims phone did feature a glass
mouthpiece, that phone also had a few issues that mine does not:
missing cord grommet tube
Incorrect base plate
Incorrect transmitter and cup
missing original cord

Thanks,

I thought so too but when I asked him about adding it here he told me to go ahead and post it.
