Auction 92: Automatic Electric Jade Green AE40

[TelePlay]

Listed within the past hour and rare to eBay, at least recently from what I can tell or remember. Seems in good condition with one ding to a corner but chrome handset bands, finger wheel and carry handle. Look like original cords. Gasket looks old. Other than that, and whatever the inside looks like, plenty of time to make a guesstimate over the next 6 plus days.

The seller says: "You will be receiving a vintage automatic electric type 40 Monophone phone which is in its original color, bakelite Jade green. Not Painted!. The phone has silver chrome handbrush bands and finger dials. This type of model was made from 1939-1950's. This phone does have a chip on the corner (please use the pictures to see). I am not certain if the phone works but the cords and wiring to look to be in good shape. Everything is nice and flexible. Everything appears to be in original condition."

Looking through some photos from Lancaster show this morning and I saw one on somebody's table with a price tag of $995.00 on it! It looked much nicer than this one!

Already at $286 with 6+ days to go.   I'm saying $1999.00 and that is probably a lot too low.

One dollar below my posted estimate??
