Up for auction is a rare and unusual Elite dial telephone made by Western Electric.  Most of these are green; this the far less common tan and white version. This telephone set is part of the Bell "Design Line" series that was introduced in the mid-1970s.  It is model number 930B31-58 with a manufacturing date of 10-75.  It is in excellent working condition with only minimal wear. No cracks or breaks, it does not come with a line cord. I did use it back when I had a landline when it functioned perfectly.
