Plug in and go Genuine GPO candlestick 150 and genuine GPO wooden bell set.

This telephone is a wonderful example of a GPO No150 and dated 1924. As you can see it looks fabulous and has been totally stripped down and and rebuilt after each part has been restored to the best it can be. The brass plated fittings have been refinished but not plated and look great as you can see. Not re plating these items saves a lot of money and so can be sold at a cheaper price. The black body and base is in near perfect condition but has a couple very minor imperfections. The dial is a GPO No12 with an alpha numeric dial face and stainless steel finger wheel. I have fitted very best quality braided cords to the earpiece and a five foot braided cord to the bell set. The bell set is dated 1928 and made from solid mahogany. It started life as a GPO No1 and was factory refubished in 1955. I have simply waxed and polished it and so leaving some patina from its nearly 100 years of age. This will give the beautiful loud double gong bell ring and ideally situated in a hallway to resonate around the house. Candlestick telephones are usually operated from electronics in the bell set but I have fitted a pulse to tone unit and electronic microphone allowing it to work perfectly without one and so will work on any telephone supplier and Voip system. I can make a dial label with your information at no extra charge.
