GAP RULE: At least $5 between guesses to prevent crowding.
Seller Listing Title: "Western Electric Touch Tone Space Saver Telephone"
Condition: "Used"
Condition Qualifier: " - - - "
Listing Description: "Estate sale find and I don't know anything about it. I took the front off around the buttons and found a date of 3-75 on the key pad. There is no receiver and there are no bells. It is dirty but a good cleaning will go a long way. Please see photos there are scrapes and nicks. The chrome hook switch is in pretty good shape and a good polishing will make it shine. I don't know if it works or not so this is sold as-is. -- It will be shipped very well protected."

There have been two of these in auction contests in the past, both in better condition. Here are the link:

Very rare item. Obviously the dial pad is a recent replacement being dated 1975. Would be interesting to see the inside date & parts.

Thanks to all who played along in this contest.
A big congratulations to Haf on this contest win, his very first win ever!
His guess was the first of the contest and only $2 away from the auction sale price, nice way to get onto the standings list.
Yay, finally :)
Thank you. Only 25 more and I'm on top of the list ;)
