Wedgewood Telephone

[trdhrdr007]

Picked up this Wedgewood telephone yesterday. Clearly marked Wedgewood on the base & the centerpiece of the handset. No chips or cracks. I wiped it down with a damp cloth but it still has some scunge in a couple spots. Have looked online and it looks like people are asking (not sold) $399 and up for this style. Have seen a few on eBay that had a Wedgewood plaque in the front that sold for around $60 but none with a full Wedgewood base. Could use some help with value.

Very nice. How do you text with it?

Not sure of value But I would definitely list it internationally as the style is more popular overseas than in America right now

Interesting. I saw an old pair of Wedgwood high heels once in an antique store. The wedgewood jasperwear stuff was pretty popular in the 1960s as gift items. I got my mom a small wedgewood plate for mother's day long ago I think it was?

Took the phone to my Mom's to see if it works on her landline. Got a dial tone no problem. Unfortunately the 1,2, & 3 don't work. The wife's cell number doesn't use those and I was able to call her no problem. I've heard that these generally sell for $2-300. No idea how this one will do with the 3 numbers not working.

You may be able to clean the contacts under buttons 1,2 and 3. The wedgewood shoe is hilarious.
