A genuine Bell System Western Electric Trimline phone in brown, push-button touch-tone dial integrated into the handset. Backplate is stamped "Western Electric — the Trimline phone — Bell System Property For Sale," model AS593M-70237-TE-E, complies with FCC Part 68. Base measures approximately 7.5" long and weighs 1 lb 13 oz.
Slide-out directory card in the base lists Police, Fire, Weather, Lottery, Time, Story, Sports Line, and Horoscope entries with local 976 numbers — a nice period detail. A separate paper insert advertising "Cremora Non-Dairy Creamer" is tucked into the handset grip, likely a promotional giveaway insert from the era. Backplate shows expected brass/metal wear and some adhesive/gold residue from an old mounting sticker; case shows scuffs and light scratches from age and handling, with dust in the base cavity. No phone cord or handset cord included. AS IS — untested for line function, condition consistent with age.
