Does anyone recognize this early candlestick? (Phoenix Pencil-Shaft)

Your right, one year apart.  The picture in the 2014 sale is the same picture in the 2015 sale.  The $4k sale must have fallen through in 2014 then relisted in 2015  Odd.

No they were two different phones and separate auctions as I had bid on both. While they looked similar the first phone was in better shape.  I won the second auction (the more beat up phone) and some other Phoenix parts the same seller had in a third auction.  We conversed back and forth as I was curious how he came up with so many Phoenix phones & parts.

So, did he say where all the Phoenix stuff came from?

These were used as interphone/intercoms, and it is not uncommon to find multiple extensions.  I had a matched pair of Loefflers a while back, and bought a group of three WEs a few years ago.

I can't exactly remember but I think it was an estate sale.  I was more interested if he had any additional Phoenix parts or phones.  Unfortunately he did not.

I see that the base is different from mine, it is cylindrical while mine is bell-shaped.

Its a #7 Phoenix.  I've often wondered about the different bases.  In reading the brochure, it references the phone being available with the coil mounted with the mag and bells (which might be the base you have) or mounted in the base itself (which is the base I have).
