Automatic Electric Model 40
    
Automatic Electric is a telephone maker that was based in Chicago, IL. This model was
introduced in 1940. This phone was commonly referred to as the "Shirley Temple"
phone.
The phone is made of Bakelite and shined up beautifully. The phone originally came with
a straight handset cord, but later models used the curl cord. I can do either way for you
at your request (if no request is made, I'll pick one that's nice).
