Here is a very nice original Western Electric 50AL dial candlestick.

These were made out of brass and then painted black. Everything else not painted has been polished. New brown cloth covered cords have been added. Everything else is original.  

This candlestick telephone will dial out your calls  and work on today's systems as a mini network has been installed There is no ringer so you coud either pick up when another phone rings or add a ringer   

Comes with a #4 dial which has a painted sold brass finger wheel  which has the  raspier clickety clack sound .
