    Description

    Old Western Electric Electronic Telephone Handset M1 Sound Power Prop Show Décor
    Here's a black telephone handset made by the "Western Electronic Company, Berkeley, 5, California". Note, the handset on the exterior reads, "Electronic", not "Electric". I tried to find information for the approximate year this was
    manufactured
    , but cannot find any info on it - everything refers to the Western "Electric" Company. At any rate, this handset is large and heavy, measuring about 9 inches long and weighing about 1.5 pounds. The black cord remains attached, but is no longer stretchy and is in the coiled position as shown. Please see the photos of the opened earpiece and mouthpiece ends, too.
    Earpiece inside: 2-5-48 (date?). HAI 87 F1 9-47 Western Electric Made in U.S.A. D-173012 Rec. unit 8-43
    Mouthpiece inside:
    Western Electric Made in U.S.A. D-173016 Transmitter unit 11-44
    Please see the photos of the opened earpiece and mouthpiece ends, too. The metal feels and looks like heavy brass.
