Very rare Whitman & Couch potbelly with marked transmitter, steer horn switch hook and correct Couch outside terminal long pole receiver (discolored but no damage). This is another variation in the Couch & Seeley, Whitman & Couch collection. This candlestick has been re nickeled and has a reproduction base plate underneath but overall a very rare telephone. Please see the scan of an original article about this telephone in the October 23rd, 1897 issue of The Electrical World magazine, showing this portable desk set.
