This is a classic model used in the USA and Canada and the model No is 500 series and dated from 1949 in black and colours from 1954. This is a very nice design and can be seen in hundreds of American films. This telephone has a beautiful ring tone and you will best remember this from the Rockford files at the beginning of each episode. The ringer is adjustable to be loud or soft via a small wheel under the telephone. The 500 series model was so popular it is now being copied and many reproductions are being sold. This is the genuine article and have them in stock. They were built to a very high standard and in the short time I have been dealing with this model I have been very impressed. This is a fine looking telephone and working perfectly to dial out and receive using a UK plug socket.
These are the pictures of the actual telephone for sale. It has some colour fading with no damage scratches or chips. This is not painted. It has been cleaned and polished as you can see. It has an electronic microphone and a new line in fitted.
