Antique 1890s Western Electric Railroad Station Dispatch Candlestick Telephone - $550 - (Hot Springs, AR)

I purchased this railroad telephone in A large warehouse in the border city of Fort Smith Arkansas. The town is filled with wild West history and this is a remnant from that era. It's in Great original condition – nothings been touched. The paint has a a few scratches you can see on the earpiece on the headset, which is solid brass with a great  Bakelite cap.You can see that this has a very unique brass threaded heavy mouthpiece which is unique to any telephone I've ever owned and I've been collecting since I was 17.  The pictures pretty much tell the story but if you have any questions feel free to ask. I hate to let this go but I need the cash. I'm welcome to offers,  but this will only be listed a few days.
