What is this?

Stromberg Carlson 1543.

Is that the ID on the bottom - there is not enough resolution for me to read it?

This one is mid 1960s vintage.  It's probably worth $20-$30, though this one appears to be missing its green line cord.  The transmitter and receiver elements in this phone's handset would be the same as in a WE G3, but probably SC versions.

Thanks.  That's the only picture I have.

A wild guess from the spacing in the photo is that it might be a TD-4500 set.


If so, it's not a standard telephone but part of the Dialmaster PBX family. You can find info in the TCI Library by searching for Dialmaster or TD-4500.

What is the difference between the 1543 and the 4500?  From the outside, they both look the same.
