Vintage Red Bell F1 Rotary Telephone Western Electric
You are considering bidding on a Chinese red or WE-20 Pekin Red colored vintage Western Electric Bell System telephone. It is the F1 model. It is a beautiful looking phone. It would look brilliant sitting on a desk along side the rest of your art deco items. These vintage dial phones have become quite the collectible.
I am listing several vintage telephones and Bell related equipment. This equipment came from a gentleman who use to work for Bell Telephone company. He worked there from the years 1953-1989. Some of the equipment may even be older than that. He acquired several phones and equipment while there. He has passed on and I know he would enjoy the fact that his collection is going to those who truly appreciate it. I am putting up nearly 40 different phones. A lot of them are in their original boxes. Please click the following link to view them all: Vintage Telephones and Equipment
These phones were stored in the basement over the years, so there is a good chance that they work; however, all items are being sold as is without warranty. I sell them this way because I have not tested them. This is a binding contract. Please feel free to ask any questions. Allow the shipping calculator to determine your shipping costs. Insurance is offered through Auctiva on every item we sell. I am not responsible for any item once it is placed in the mail.
