Description:

A hard-to-find Western Electric collectible that combines vintage technology with stylish 1970s design.

vintage Western Electric Bell System executive desk telephone, model 288B (serial B601765), dating to the 1970s. This unique phone features a hinged wood and faux leather case with a flip-top design, push-button keypad, and black handset. The interior has a wood-grain paneling with a clean retro look, and the phone connects via its original 4-prong plug.
