DIALS OUT, RINGS WHEN CALLED. OPERATES LIKE A MODERN TELEPHONE. OVER 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE RESTORING & COLLECTING TELEPHONES. Designed and engineered by Bell and manufacture by their Western Electric Division this was their first dial desk telephone. There were very few dial candlesticks produced compared to the earlier non dial types.

Western Electric Dial Candlestick Telephones were made of solid brass and painted black. Only very special people were allowed to have a polished brass one. While doing research for the UNTOUCHABLE production and series I discovered a picture of Al Capone talking on a polished brass dial candlestick. I can imagine the fate of a telephone representative telling Al he could not have one.

My company CHICAGO OLD TELEPHONE CO supplied over 60 telephones for the productions including a beautiful solid brass one for ALS scenes. In the early days multiple line telephones were not yet developed. Locations requiring more than one line were supplied with several telephones. Some types: COW BELLS, LIBERTY BELLS, SLEIGH BELLS, "T" BELLS, WOOD BELLS, GLASS BELLS and several sizes of round bells. Many #2 dials were converted to #4 by moving the finger stop from the outside to the interior of the dial allowing use in later recessed dial phones.

The two small screw holes can still be seen. They make the same clicking sound as the #2. OTHER AND INTERNATIONAL QUOTED OR ON INVOICE. DOUBLE BOXED IN NEW CARTONS WELL PACKED AND INSURED.
