Seller Listing Title:  "AMERICAN BELL #10 CANDLESTICK WITH WALNUT SUBSET"
Condition:  "Used"
Condition Qualifier:  " - - - "

Listing Description:  "Western Electric / American Bell # 10 candlestick telephone nicely nickel plated about 10 years ago. The transmitter is a 7 digit and the long pole receiver is unmarked. It has a very nice set of ORIGINAL green cords. The subset is walnut along with the original walnut bells. One bell has a crack that has been re-glued and is stable and not an issue. The walnut subset is well marked with dates and is engraved property of the New England Telephone and Telegraph company.  I always get knuckleheads that ask if the phone is functional and can they call across the country with it. It is 120 years old and I have used it as a display piece. I suggest you do the same. If functionality is a deal breaker, please don't bid."
