WOW! That is absolutely stunning! Excellent restoration! Who is the seller? I do not recognize the name. My guess is $2500.00.

I do not think this is what they think it is I beleive it is a selectophone base and cradle with an AE dial  and aSC? handset. I beleive it is a frankenphone.

Thanks Doug, I still do not recognize the name.

Even if it is a frankenphone it is still gorgeous!

Robby....I think it looks like my Kellogg Grab A phone base. The cradle is different, but looks real. SC and Kellogg had a lot of the same parts. Myself, I do not think its a "frankenphone" and the decal on the ringer box is utterly amazing. Just my two cents.

If it is a 'frankenphone" (I'm not keen on this term as it insinuates parts that shouldn't be together like a G1 on and A1)  I'd put it in my collection any day of the week......Doug

The base is more like the early AE base used on the pre type 21 sticks.I do not know what company made the selectophone parts or did Screw Machine Products made everything. I had worked on these sets when I worked for Chicago old Telephone co.
It is a nice set though.
