About This Phone

Rare black Western Electric No.10 tapered shaft desk set with marked back cup. Most No.10 tapered shafts were nickel plated but Western Electric started painting their candlesticks right after the year 1900 rather than nickel plating them, because it was cheaper. This candlestick has a Western Electric outside terminal "pony" receiver. Original wooden baseplate.
