Western Electric 553A — 1920s Wall Telephone
An original Western Electric 553A wall telephone from the 1920s — the wall version of the iconic candlestick telephone. Fully restored and in like-new condition, with a brass bell that rings beautifully. A working antique telephone, still in operation nearly a century later.
Restoration
Housing has been bead-blasted and professionally refinished. Everything has been cleaned, checked, and rewired. Dial cleaned and calibrated. Receiver and mouthpiece buffed and highly polished. Matching brown woven cloth cords added for both the line and receiver, with a modular plug — just plug it in.
What You’ll Love
The clickety-clack sound from the dial and the nostalgic ring of the brass bell make this more than a telephone — it’s an experience. A stunning conversation piece wherever you hang it.
