I am not sure what it is with me today and this minor obsession with retro gadgets. Maybe I am just going through a minor ‘anti tech’ phase or something like that. Do they have a vaccine for that?
Anyway this is a nice looking brass dial candlestick phone from the roaring 20’s. 1920 to be precise. It was made by Western Electric and according to the site I found it on is in excellent condition.
It is solid brass construction with molded black receiver wired to the original wooden ringer with solid brass bells.

But ask yourself why making phone calls needs to be so complacated ?
The brass candlestick phone does only one thing and does it well. It makes and receives phone calls. You do not have to worry about some menu or option that takes minutes to find. You also do not have to worry about checking your messages or looking at a screen.
