This is a Connecticut Type "C" potbelly desk telephone with a single button in the base. The nickel is not in the best of shape but overall this candlestick is in outstanding original condition for its age. It uses a Holzter-Cabot outside terminal receiver which was common on early Connecticut telephones. Please see the scan from an original ad in the 1899 issue of Telephone Magazine. Almost identical to this telephone. Very rare potbelly.
Item Dimensions: 9" T.
