I think newbies are bidding up the round base. They think it is the D# A mount (value wise).

It seems that the notchless dial plate added about $450 to it.
Oops, I was talking about a different phone that sold yesterday.

What mount is it? It's not the regular B mount as the shaft appears taller. (I don't know the correct terminology for the shaft). The screw holes in the bottom are not where they are on my B mount.

I looked closer. It appears to be the A mount. I guess the newbies spotted it right.
I have been told that these "sawed-off" candlesticks exsit in a few variations and typically go higher than the should. The A-mounts w/ d# can sell for $1,500-2K
They are from around 1925 . per Larry Wolff "desk Telephones of the bell system"

Sold! $760.
That was actually a bargain!
These A1's normally go for around $1,000, even with no dial.
