Buyer's premium:

This WWI US telephone is dated 1917 on the spec plate and is complete. The handset has brass ear and mouth pieces and with black overpaint which has flaked over time. Hand crank turns and foldout “hang up” hook functions. It is our opinion the outer tongue and groove may been refinished or cleaned up. The leather shoulder strap almost ready to break in one spot. Very often the shoulder straps are missing on these sets. Leather is worn but not overly dried out.
