1904 Western Electric 20-B

Western Electric 20B Candlestick Phone

Probably one of my favorite phones, this was introduced in 1904 and has an OST receiver, which means the electrical contacts are on the outside of the receiver.  Be sure not to touch those when it rings or else you'll get a nasty shock!  I had this phone completely re-nickel plated and bought a reproduction green cloth cord for it, just like it had originally.  Click Here or on the image to see another view of it.
