These telephones are in superb condition for their age and are ready to use on a normal telephone line. The back cover prises open and you have to screw the back directly on to the wall.
The phones have a wonderful load old bell when there is an incoming call. The heavy black handset is made of "BAKELITE" a material which was replaced by plastic in the late 1950's.
