Ivory Rotary 504 Wall Phone

A new reconditioned Western Electric ivory 504 rotary telephone with the original box and all of its papers and hardware. This phone seems like it originally came from Southern Bell, given some of the papers it came with are from that operating company. Not sure what it is doing in New Jersey, perhaps it was brought here from Southern Bell territory. The phone itself seems to have never been installed, having little to no wear and the hardware still in its original packaging.

I found this phone separated from its box and hardware in a basement of an estate sale, and was very lucky to locate the box in the garage. Who knows why it was removed from the box and never installed.

The papers found with the telephone. Includes some information notices and instructions for customer installation and troubleshooting.
