Seller Listing Title: "Vintage Automatic Electric Rotary Monophone Cherry Red Art Deco Telephone"
Condition: "Used"
Condition Qualifier: "As found and dirty with dirt and grime"
Listing Description: "Vintage Cherry Red bakelite Automatic Electric Co. monophone rotary telephone with original ringer box. The phone is a business style phone with two lever switches along the bottom. As can be seen the phone is very dirty but has no cracks and should clean up nicely. The rotary dial does move but must be manually moved as it sticks and the phone itself does have some slight fading and can possibly be buffed out to be made brighter. Also the rubber gasket between the base and phone is brittle and needs to be replaced."
