This is an absolutely gorgeous vintage piece that will be perfect as a display piece standing in your interior space, whether it's your home, a bar, a restaurant or an office. It hasn't been tested, but for those with the knowledge of attaching the wire that leads from the phone to the mains, there's no reason why it shouldn't work as all the other connecting wires are there and the dial turns perfectly with wonderful subtle clicks. Look closely at the picture of the dial, it has the most wonderful scene depicted in the middle. Gorgeous! A rare find and certainly one to treasure.
