Description

Vintage Western Electric Oak Crank Desk Top Ringer Phone with Restored Cabinet

This is a Western Electric oak crank desk phone, complete with a classic Bakelite handset and a restored wooden cabinet. Originally designed as a functional desktop ringer phone, this piece captures the elegance and utility of early 20th-century communication devices. The restoration has preserved the phone’s integrity while bringing new life to its oak cabinet, enhancing the rich wood grain and original craftsmanship. With its charming hand-crank mechanism, inset fabric mesh speaker grill, and decorative details, this phone embodies the spirit of antique telephony.

Condition: Restored with signs of use and age-appropriate wear. The restoration process addressed structural needs while preserving the cabinet’s historical character. Notable wear remains on the cord, and the finish exhibits some natural age-related patina, maintaining its antique charm.

Dimensions: 7 inches (Height) x 9.75 inches (Width) x 10 inches (Depth)
