    Description

    PAIR OF VINTAGE ERICOFON ROTARY PHONES THAT I BOUGHT IN NEW YORK CITY AT A GALLERY MAYBE 25 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS IN A MID-CENTURY MODERN MODE, BUT THEN I PROMPTLY PACKED THEM FOR MOVING AND NEVER UNPACKED THEM. I NEVER TRIED TO PLUG THEM IN. THE DIALS RUN SMOOTHLY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THE PHONES WORK. THE PLASTIC SEEMS BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH VERY FEW MARKS (SEE PHOTOS, PLEASE). I BOUGHT THESE FOR THE LOOK, NOT TO USE THEM AS PHONES. I THINK THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND FOR THE PAIR TO BE CREAM AND BROWN IS QUITE NICE. NOTE THAT WHILE ALL SCREWS AND PARTS ARE THERE, THE BROWN PIECE HAS ONE OR TWO SCREWS LOOSE AND THE WIRE IS OUTSIDE THE SLOT AND ONLY NEEDS THAT ADJUSTMENT.  I AM SELLING THEM AS IS, SO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
