Just my opinion, but, yuk.

My opinion too, and somewhat morbid aswell with that disembodied hand loosely holding the gutted handset...

The truth is a candlestick phone is not worth anything like £400 here in the UK. Just the candlestick bit is about £80 untested. £120-£140 if you want it complete with the bell box.

He's still wated his time though if he's trying to sell it for £75. The value is proabbly more like about £15 after conversion. Should be possible to convert it back though, as someone did a while ago, if only I could find that thread.

Some enterprising individual should manufacture mock up telephones for the master blasters to destroy in pursuit of their "art".

Never understood why making a phone inoperable and stuffing a bulb socket on it makes it worth 100$ more than when it was a new phone.

The really bizarre thing is the phones that are worth good money untouched, which are then totally devalued havng been made into a lamp - which is then priced for sale at less than the phone was originally worth.

I do wish these people would do a bit of research first.

That is a Rail Road phone. Here is what mine from the Canadian Pacific Rail Road looks like.
This is what it should look like without the lamp.

Not a lamp phone but a real atrocity none the less! A real waste of a phone!

It would have never even thought of doing that....

They were probably trying to figure something they could do with it after gluing the phone together. Saw it in half.

A nice lamp, a really nice phone, a bad lamp-phone.
