WE Wood Wall Phone 1317 with manual!

[HarrySmith]

I have never seen this before. This auction for the wood wall phone includes the original manual! Looks to be in near perfect condition too. Too bad it is so expensive, I would buy it just for the book.

Wow.
That unit looks completely original, with original dark oak finish. Only missing the 2 batteries.
And the manual must be super rare.
Someone kept this unit in good condition.

They should take the manual and have copies made of it. They will make much more than they will with the woodie....Doug
