"It's little. It's lovely. It lights." That was the slogan Western Electric used to market the beautiful Princess telephone. Introduced in 1959, it graced many homes for several decades, and continues to do so today in homes appreciating American quality that's unsurpassed.
This beautiful PINK Princess was produced in the USA and served someone many years until taken out of service. In my rehabbing process, the phone was completely gone through, be...nch tested for proper operations, and made truly plug-n-play ready for you. The plastics have been painted PINK with the same industrial paint that the phone company used.
The real beauty of this particular phone is that it features a rare handset for the hearing impaired princess. Its thumb wheel is so easy to use while talking. Just roll it with your thumb to raise or lower the volume. And unlike the crap made in China today that may weigh a few ounces if you're lucky, this baby comes in at about four pounds. Now that's real components made to last and last.
The hearing and transmitting qualities are first rate. It lights up when you lift the handset. The switch on the back turns on a night light if you wish. Turn the switch off, and there is no night light, but it still lights up in the dark for you to dial out. Because the light inside is to the left of the dial pad, the numbers are a bit brighter on the left side. In the dark, you can see them all very well.
Western Electric thought of everything. The shade of PINK they created for this little darling is the color of bubble gum.
This will be expertly packed to arrive to you safe and sound. Just plug it in when you get it, and call back into a simpler time, when we cared about quality and aesthetics. My best wishes from Texas! -Eddie
