Northern Electric Chrome 3 Slot Payphone

Description

Northern Electric Chrome 3 Slot Payphone
I bought this phone with several others at a local auction and do not know any history prior to my purchase, It is a Northern Electric Model QSD3A 1969-70. Please do your own research.
William Gray patented the early 3 slot payphones in the 1890’s This style 3 slot was first made around 1912 and was discontinued around 1972. There were several manufactures of these 3 slot payphones Gray, Western Electric and Northern Electric (Canada) were three.
This telephone is old and may have some minor scratches and dings but it looks great, I don’t see any issues. I believe it is as Removed from Service, but I am not sure.
It could be rewired to make it work as a regular phone.
The locks have modified so that a small flat screw driver will open them. It will come with two keys.
Look at the pictures for the best description. NOTE: This phone has a Mirror finish and shows the reflection of the Garage door and plywood with paint. These are Not flaws in the chrome. Please do your own research.
As I said the chrome is a mirror finish, I tried to take some more pictures but most of what you see is the texture of the cardboard. There is a small chip maybe rust spot in the lower right side the size of a pencil lead. The top specks may polish out, some are in the card board. its in great shape for a 50 year old phone,
I may be too cheap there is another chrome listed for more than 500.00.
