Century Split Shaft Candlestick Telephone
Century manual candlestick telephone. This antique telephone is nicknamed the "Split Shaft" due to the way the shaft can be split into 2 halves. It is also what is called a "tapered shaft" due to the fact that the shaft is narrower at the top than at the bottom. The entire body is nickel plated brass. Note the advertising note pad attachment on the shaft.
