Northern Electric / Canada Bell
Vintage Rotary Dial Wall Telephone
Beige, Tan, Almond
This is an original vintage rotary dial telephone. It has a modern phone jack on a cord tucked behind a black plastic mounting bracket for easy wall mounting, even if your phone jack is not at the height you want the phone. It appears to have been made for Canada Bell by Northern Telecom and or Northern Electric based on the named molded into the case and handset.
The cosmetic condition of this telephone is good having only some minor blemishes. The inside of the ear piece has some wear from contacting the metal cradle when being hung on the receiver many times over the years and there are two small fractures in the plastic at the back of the base, which would not be seen when hanging on the wall (see photo).
All of the numbers and letters on the dial are bright and clear with none being faded or scratched.
Electrical condition is 100% functional, this was my kitchen phone for about 5 years, but I have moved and no longer have a land line.
Its rotary metal dial mechanism operates smooth with clockwise and automatic return motion.
The phone dials out fine and has an old fashion ring with a set of real internal bells that work fine.
The coiled cord on the handset is completely intact and all of the connections are good. It is not stretched out or mangled.
The sound quality of the handset is crystal clear from both ends of the conversation.
There is a volume lever at the bottom of the phone.
