It looks like it's been used as a real ... hammer.   ;D

Yes, it sure is beat up. Do you know if it is fake?

It is real, and real beaten up!  What's the asking price, or is it something from your Dad's collection?

The base and perch appear to be Kellogg and the receiver may be a WE 706-type (with HA-1 capsule).

The transmitter and mouthpiece need closer scrutiny.

Mouthpiece appears to be repro with the large star pattern--originally Turtle Lake, Wisconsin design but now appearing on Phonecoinc repro mouthpieces. Transmitter and receiver appear to be repros as well.

In the garage. Obviously he didn't care for it that much. Would anyone even want to buy this? If so, how much?

Mo,

     $25.00 from the Gentleman who posesses zero CS phones, so far!

Worth a try, right? ;D

I agree now that I look at it on a full sized screen, the mouthpiece and transmitter look repro and that makes the 706A looking receiver suspect.  It's a common phone in beaten up condition with repro parts.  It would make a good parts phone if it had any good parts.  I only collect Western Electric, so I am not as well versed as I should be on other makes, but I would think $50 or less on eBay.
