It’s in superb condition and has been polished to the highest standard.  There are English GPO marks on the base. The 232 is the finest telephone we have for sale. It is truly a collector's item because it was used in the MOD ( MINISTRY OF DEFENCE ) in some form of capacity during the 2nd World War.

The base has the original marks & serial numbers. The bakelite phone has been recoated professionally with high quality hard wearing red enamelled paint similar to what is used in car body workshops.
