6 Retro Telephones Bell Western Electric ATT Panasonic Rotary Push Button
We found these at the shop. We were lucky enough to find a kind neighbor with a landline who helped us figure out which phones were working. Almost every one worked and rung correctly! Please see below for specific information on each phone.
We have 6 different telephones. They are individually priced at the end of each description.
Message for multiple pictures of every phone, please. That way you can see it from every angle.
– Sold - Black Bell System Western Electric Rotary 500 DM Desk Phone – Sold –
TESTED – WORKS – Red Bell System AT&T 2500 Push Button Desk Phone – This is a RED phone! If you were raised in the MCM era, don’t you think of the Batphone! Minor scuffing on a deep red base. There is a sticker on the back which says R84-12 and 2500DMG. There is also a stamp into the metal that says Bell System Property; Not for sale. My FIL must have found these at the U’s Property Disposition. It doesn’t have the grey wire to go from the phone to the wall jack. This weighs 3 lbs, 13 ozs. Boxed it weighs 4 lbs 6 ozs and the package is 10” x 9” x 5” for shipping purposes. $50
TESTED – WORKS – AT&T Trimline 210 w/ Sticker Push Button Wall/Desk – This Trimline is really a wonderful light beige or cream colored phone. The correct color is probably the 4th picture. Excellent condition. Very clean in appearance. There is a sticker that says A19/MO4C which has a second line which we can’t decipher. This comes with a wire that goes to the jack. This weighs 1 lbs, 6 ozs. Boxed it weighs 1 lbs 15 ozs and the package is 10” x 5” x 6” for shipping purposes. $15
TESTED – WORKS – Lucent Technologies Trimline 210 Push Button Wall/Desk – This Trimline has a white, slightly longer curly cord on the cream/beige body of the phone. This has minor nicks and scratches. The most noticeable is on the back of the handset. If you look at the pictures, it is hardly noticeable at all. There is also a notch on the dial side, at the top of the phone, above the ear part, and is also almost unnoticeable. Please zoom in and evaluate for yourself. Priced accordingly. There is a sticker on the back of the phone that says BOR9GD. This phone comes with a gray wire that goes to the jack. Please help us find a new home for this not-quite-perfect phone. :) This weighs 1 lbs, 7 ozs. Boxed it weighs 1 lbs 15 ozs and the package is 10” x 6” x 5” for shipping purposes. $15
TESTED – WORKS – Bell System Western Electric Push Button Trimline Desk Phone – This solid and heavy Trimline will probably last another 100 years. It has minor nicks and scratches so please zoom in on all pictures. There are also notches on the dial side, at the top of the phone, above the ear part. I don’t know if that could be filed down. The dial pad is bright silver. We have no idea why the picture shows it to be bronze. The only thing wrong we see is a piece of the plug edge broke off. Please look at the picture of the back of the phone, at the bottom of the picture. You’ll see where the cord plugs into the phone is missing a triangular piece. We have no idea how to fix this but can assure you we tested the phone AFTER this was noticed and the phone works excellently. There is a stamp on the metal base of the phone which says AD3 83153 1- PTY. There is also a sticker that even with a magnifying glass, we can’t read. This comes with a wire to go to the jack. This weighs 2 lbs, 3 ozs. Boxed it weighs 2 lbs 12 ozs and the package is 10” x 6” x 4” for shipping purposes. $20
TESTED – WORKS – Panasonic KX-TGF575S Link2cell Bluetooth Cordless Black Phone System w/Base Phone plus 4 Handsets & Answering Machine – These newer cordless phones were used in my FILs large, spacious shop. He was very careful with his possessions and having so many handsets ensured he didn’t ever have to run to answer the phone. He was 94 when he passed and his shop was only open a few days a week. They were lightly used. The phones themselves feature Bluetooth connectivity, have automatic redial, a battery low indicator, call waiting, an alarm, a speakerphone, and an answering system with caller ID. We got this off the Panasonic website and it’s also in the enclosed booklet. This weighs 4 lbs, 4 ozs. Boxed it weighs 5 lbs and the package is 10” x 10” x 10” for shipping purposes. $60
TESTED – WORKS – Panasonic KX-TG4771 Digital Dect 6.0 Corded Base & Answering Phone System – This listing DOES NOT have a working second phone. We will be sending it along in case somebody knows how to fix it. When we turned it on, it flickers. My husband thinks it’s a loose wire but we don’t know enough to figure out how to fix it. The second base also works. This system also features and LCD display, automatic redial, voice mail, answering system, handset locator, mute, and caller ID. This weighs 2 lbs, 2 ozs. Boxed it weighs 2 lbs 12 ozs and the package is 11” x 5” x 8” for shipping purposes. $15
