The Princess phone is probably one of the most iconic phones of the 1960's and into the 1970's. Originally marketed as a bedside phone, its compact design meant it did not take up a lot of room on the table. As an added feature they installed an incandescent light bulb so that you could pick up the phone and make a call in the dark without having to turn a light on. Bear in mind, this light is very dim and can't be seen when the lights are on in the room, it was only bright enough to make the dial glow in the dark for dialing. Most people don't care about this option, so this is why I don't include the necessary transformer kit with the phone, I sell it separately so you don't have to pay for something you don't want. If you purchase the kit in a separate listing, I will refund back the shipping charged and send it along with your phone.

Ringer: Some Princess ringers have the ability to be turned all the way off. There are a lot of Western Electric ringers that only have a low volume, some Princess ringers, thankfully, allow you to turn them all the way off. If you want this feature, please be sure to send me a separate note asking to be sure to send a phone that can have the ringer turned all the way off.

Hard of Hearing: I do have special handsets available for the hard of hearing. These are original Western Electric G6 handsets that were designed specifically to go with Western Electric telephones. The quality and clarity of these handsets can't be beat. Send me a message after you purchase the phone and I will set up a special listing to purchase the upgrade.

No Landline? No problem. You can pair this up with your cell phone using the Cell2Jack and still have full function of this phone through your cell phone. Just add this listing to your purchase: https://www.ebay.com/itm/277267227912

Condition:

  • All of the phones I sell are refurbished to look and work like new. This includes cleaning and lubricating dials, cleaning contacts on TouchTone keypads, updating wiring.
  • All phones are adapted for modular use, so all you have to do is plug the phone in and use it.
  • The exterior of plastic and Bakelite phones are polished to a high polish using commercial buffing equipment.
  • In the case of age discolored plastic phones, I have them repainted at a professional paint shop using the same materials and methods used by the phone company for a very durable, high shine.
About Digital Dialing:
  • If you have digital phone service, you will probably be unable to dial out with this phone. This is correctable by adding a digital converter to the phone. With this device installed you will be able to use this phone on any digital system.
  • If you are using a Bluetooth connection, you will be able to dial out without needing a converter. Your phone will also ring just fine. I do have easy to use Bluetooth modu les available, you will find a link to it in the description above.
  • Including a converter is an additional $70. If you want this option, message me for purchase instructions.

Shipping:

  • I ship within 48 hours of payment.
