This is a very hard to find early WESTERN ELECTRIC CANDLESTICK TELEPHONE in original condition. The base is marked, WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY, PAT. in USA Aug. 16 04, Sept. 13 04 Jan. 26 15. The mouth piece cord is original. It has the old brown felt on the bottom.  There is also a small tag under the mouth piece that has the name and #311 W. The phone has scratches in the paint but still displays well and would be a very easy restoration. Thanks for looking.
