Stromberg Carlson 1168 CANDLESTICK PHONE w Modular Plug Works Well noResv

Description

**Please note my excellent feedback and SATISFACTION GUARANTEE**
Here is a great estate find, a Stromberg Carlson model 1168 candlestick phone, ca. 1930.  This will work well only as an extension phone, as it has no dial or ringer.  The audio volume is slightly diminished, I assume because of the early design specifications, but it is perfectly usable.  I replaced the original spade-lug (screw) cord with a matching cloth-sheathed modular plug cord, but I will include the original perfect condition cord for collector interest.
Overall it is in very good condition, though it would benefit from a careful clean and polish.  The only blemish I see is a tiny flake of nickel missing under the microphone housing, shown in the detail photo, and only noticeable under close inspection.  The handset cord still has part of its paper label on the cord, "Stromberg Carlson Duratex MR-2-G, Made In United States Of America".  The back of the microphone housing is inscribed "MFD By Stromberg Carlson Mfg. Co. Rochester N.Y. U.S.A."
Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed including all shipping costs should you wish to return the item after inspection for any reason.

WERS to the most common questions
:
SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and that typically includes domestic shipping costs.
TERMS: Virtually any payment method that gets the money to us is acceptable.  Please reply and pay promptly. Intact delivery as described is guaranteed. We try to process all orders the week payment is confirmed.
SHIPPING:  Alternative shipping methods can usually be accommodated.  Very large or awkward
items may require commercial packing, which will be noted in the auction listing description, including details on obtaining these services.  Item pickup from our facility can usually be scheduled on request.  Items not picked up within 30 days must be deemed abandoned, due to storage restrictions, although commercial storage can be arranged separately.
INSURANCE:  We pack extremely well and rarely have any shipping difficulties.  We often self-insure, meaning that if there is shipping damage, you can simply contact us to arrange return of the item and we will reimburse all your costs. However, we will use carrier insurance on expensive and/or fragile merchandise. Carrier claims may require documentation before an item is re-shipped back to us, by retaining or photographing packing materials for carrier inspection.  This is true for all mail order shipping situations, not just us or just eBay.
TERMS VARY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  Some types of items cannot be transaction protected and/or shipment insured to certain (typically 3rd world) countries, in which case the bid may be void. Maximum refund for overseas shipping cannot exceed typical domestic charges. Electronic funds transfer or
postal
(only!) cash orders are options for the overseas customer if Paypal won't protect our payment.
WIN-WIN TRADING: We love making people happy with fun items, and we always leave feedback. By placing a bid you are accepting total liability for any and all consequential damages, beyond purchase guarantee (it is your responsibility to not drop it on your toe or burn your house down with it!)
