Reasonably good condition vintage black desk phone, likely from 1930s. Mark on the back is somewhat scratched, but suggests that this is a Bell System Western Electric D1/202 model, likely with an F1 handset.
Silver rotary dial with black body, though please note that the paint on the tips of the cradle is somewhat worn; cord has been cut. Both the rotary dial and cradle function. Together, the handset and body measure about 5" tall, 9" wide; the base itself measures 5" deep x 6" wide. The base is quite substantial, appears to have a steel body with bakelite in the handset.
