240 1970s USA made Decorator Telephones - Chest Phones  - That’s only a little over $6 each. Pretty cheap for a 3” dial, ringer and other parts! I never sorted them out so I’m unsure the proportions of touch tone and rotaries. This is part of an attempt to sell completely out. It’s unlikely that you’d have any competition. The other 2/3rds are candlesticks at $8 and French cradles at $5 (take-all of each group prices). These are also on ebay. Smaller quantities are also available via ebay. Hundreds of partials and parts of/for these are also available. This group is part of an old stock of 1660 decorator phones as will/are on ebay for $8300 or less ($5 each or less). I saw on top of the pile a Dog Scene in 3-D on the lid. I opened it and it was empty inside. I doubt if many or even two more are like this (empty). If many work when hooked into your cellphone line or telco landline is unknown. If they work, yes, they’d work on a cell line clearly and efficiently. I can tell you how. A result of careful engineering. Examples of unique and clever engineer-design is the capability of retraction (the handset cord winds back up into the phone), the hinges which allow it to open and shut and the use of real genuine wood (even if veneered). These phones were made in the 1970's by a California Company. They had carcasses and then outfitted them with their own parts (dials and innards). Then they put them in houses and charged the customer more per month than for an ordinary phone. Whatever phone you have that my work can/still link on a cellphone circuit. In other words, you don't need a telco landline. I'd gladly share the information about this with you; call me after Noon CST. The California Company that made these made also a candlestick, french phone plus the chest phone style. There were variations in each including colors and some chest phones had dog scene etc, on them. Phoneco is willing to sell out it's complete inventory/storage of these via Ebay at and around $5 or $6 each (cost per phone will vary according to quantity purchased). Watch for deals on Ebay. With the advent of now making landline phones into cellphone-circuit phones (not needing telco landlines), someone may benefit by having these in/as a storefront. If you bought all that Phoneco has (who wants out of the business because of age), you'd have nearly no competition in selling them. Even though this style of phone used the high quality parts that were common in U.S. Made 1970's telephones, they are subject to little qualms due to the novelty structure. At this time, this phone may work fine but it may not that the 20 – 30 years durability characteristic that conventional phones of the 1970's have. Used - Untested. I have seen these where by the cord doesn’t retract well. I opened 3 - 4 recently. One has a Western Electric type (“#6 or 7”) dial with a superb chrome finger wheel (really sharp). Some may be with brass wheeled Automatic Electric dials and some may be touch tone. They are as unhooked from the home they occupied, stored, and now offered for sale. I’ll merely glance at them with very little inspection. Some may even have a handset or dial absent. I’ll pick and choose for $6 to $10 each. I have no idea if or not they work when hooked to a tel line. We will for you make assure that they will work for from $18 additional each to $25 additional each (approximate appraisals). These cost well over $100 each when new. Even now such as on one web site and catalog, they are $111 (guaranteed and F.C.C. Refurbished) and as seen here but assurance of completeness @$29. What I offer here are wither “leather”-covered or woodgrain. If you did on one package of two or more, you can specify or else I’ll do half and half. Where a quantity were taken, you may even possibly find a dog scene on the lid flat. Sell these out of your store or booth? Prize give aways? If you succeed in getting them to work, sell them as phones to work on either or both: a cell phone or land line Telco line. For cell line, you need a gadget which plugs into 115v. Plug this into the gadget, lay your cell phone not too far away and presto! Kurt uses a Princess phone at home exclusively. These may not be on eby for a long period of time. What is unsold and gone will be moved out to the barn probably by summer, and piled high on top of stuff (hard to find). Yes they’ll work (if they work) on a cellphone “line’!! You don’t need a land line telco line! Made by a Torrance California Company in the 1970s. Telephone companies bought the basic body and then outfitted them with workable parts. Bell/AT&T, Automatic Electric (General Tel) and Canadian Telcos bought “tons” pf these/ A telco would lease them out by the month like any other telephone, until deregulation, when you could buy your own phone instead of “renting” it from the telephone company who then did a number of things with them. Including selling them to people like me. I’ve heard it called a cigar box phone. Easy to dust. If you don’t want to talk to someone, just hang it up and close the lid!
