Automatic Electric Model 34a3

Automatic Electric is a telephone maker that was based in Chicago, IL. This model was introduced in 1934 and was the first "all inclusive" models for this company. This means all parts needed are included in the base of the phone, no separate bell box is required as with earlier models.

I have this phone available in the two options offered by Automatic Electric. You commonly see these in brass, but this is not correct for this phone. These phones are the result of somebody sanding off the paint to expose the brass underneath. These phones were never offered in brass. I stick to originality, so you will not find any brass option here.

The phone is made of Bakelite and shined up beautifully. The cords are new reproduction black cloth cords. I have the phone all wired and ready to go, just plug it in.

Black "Cutaway" finger wheel upgrade for the black edition AE34a3
