Came across this today for $60 Apparently from the nameplate on it was made by Kellogg Switchboard Supply Co. $60 seems like a great price. I would like to restore it. people say if you restore something it would be worth less but I don't see how. My experience with all things telephone is limited. I'm not looking to make money on these things but as my resources are limited I will often attempt to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. I just don't want to put lipstick on a pig if you take my meaning. Anyone's thoughts are always welcome. thanks in advance.

Well, considering you are starting with a crappy lookin ...green??? no offence,
I would believe original oak or what was the other type? with a nice finish, would be an eye catcher for sure.
Just my opinion.
Nice find by the way!!! :)

Not sure maybe Mahogany is what I've heard. I sent some questions to the owner as there were no pictures of the guts, and if it even has any. Hope to here back soon from them.
