Not many of these survived - the pic shows waves - it is not thats just reflection.  Item dirty, but will clean up just fine, both lens (as its two sided are fine and not sun yellowed, no cracks either.

500.00 + Shipping, this is a large item, so suspect shipping in lower 48 would be around 100.00 but would not know until know destination zipcode.

Not rare at all, and quite modern actually. These usually sell for about $65-$100, and will usually ship for about $35-$45 via FedEx Ground.

Actually it is rare, as they were common on the phone pedistals late 70/80, and most if not all were disposed of then the pedistals removed.  Additionally, this one is lit, which also make it rare as the location the specific pedisal was install also has to have ac.  not would find them for 60 buck and 30 dollors tell me where, they dont exist.

Its model is (Western Electric) KS-20135, made by Benco for WE, Mecury Lamp, but i use an LED bulb, 1, for efficienticy, two prevent yellowing.  Their are clones, but not WE ones, few and far between have survived.

I do have the adco one as well, also rare, but its not for sale, with the 50/60 BS logo on it before phone.
