Phone is untested, therefore we are unsure if it is in working condition or not. Wires to the receiver have been clipped. Arm is loose and needs tightening and the podium is split in half. Crank will turn but does not ring the bells. Some of the sheathing is missing from the wires. Light discoloration on the right edge of the exterior of the case and three drops of white paint are on the front of the telephone as well. Metal has some wear and darkening. Typical wear from age and use. Overall in GOOD condition. Sold AS FOUND. Please refer to the photos for the best details. 
 
Measures approximately 8 1/4" wide, 25" tall and 13 3/4" deep.
