Western Electric early metal wall phone pair

[tubaman]

These have been on eBay UK for a while - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-americana-Telephone-industrial-vintage/283255036882
Western Electrical telephones
The sale is for both phones
In great condition. Will need 're wiring or use or would look great as a show piece
Viewing welcome

Looks like a nice pair of phones and don't appear to have been messed with, but I don't know about the price.
Any thoughts?

No thoughts on these from anyone?
If the price gets nearer to £100 for the pair I might be tempted (but still don't know if that's a sensible price or not).

Is L140  $180 US? It is a fair price on the high end but not unreasonable...Doug

Maybe make an offer and see what the seller comes back with. Leave room to negotiate. Nice that there are two.

You could ask the seller if they will sell you just one of the phones and make an offer for one phone.  I have done that sort of thing a few times where a lot of items was being offered and I only wanted one of them.

They both appear to be in good condition, just a little polish should make them shine. The cords may be replacements, they look to be a little flat. Price is not terribly high, especially for over there.
I agree, make an offer.

Thanks everyone - some good food for thought.

Unfortunately it looks like I've missed out on these.
Did a bit of toing and froing with offers on eBay last night, eventually ending with the seller declining my last offer.
This morning I have a message saying he's changed his mind and please can I resubmit my offer, but eBay won't let me as it says I've used up my maximum numbers of offers on the item.
Oh well, win some .....

Ebay often makes it awfully difficult to do things.  Why don't you contact this seller directly at: jokersalvageandupcycling.co.uk?

Good news - the seller offered to cancel and relist, so the deal has been done!
