Western Electric TYPE T-12 / Perch Mark D47479

[zaphod01]

While technically not a candlestick, it has a standard perch but with screws to mount it into the microphone style handle. The positioning pin lines up with the notch. Only model number on the perch is stamped on the side as D47479. Transmitter is a 323BW. Spotless.

Paid too much at $80 but I'm a sucker for anything with a drawing number.

The TYPE T-12 model designation makes me suspect Signal Corps. Anybody familiar with this?

Very nice.

Is there a plug on the end of the cord?

[zaphod01]

Yes. Cable is marked CO 105. Jack is marked 109 AA.

That is very cool. I don't think you paid to much. I think you could sell it for $100-$150 pretty easily.

Interesting find.  I think $80 is a fair price considering the condition and rarity.
