This is a harder-to-find vintage 1950s / 1960s Kristian Kirks (Telefon Fabriker) Danish Bakelite phone.
It is in good condition and is being sold as in working condition.
It is stamped with a 1964 issue date on the silver base plate of the phone.
This Kirk table telephone was first made in the 1940s, but the design was so successful that it continued to be produced well into the 1960s. The moulded bakelite case is very curvaceous with no straight ages - and it also has a handy built-in carry handle.
I have checked it before listing - and when the cable is plugged into a modern BT telephone socket in your house - it rings (an old bring-bring bell sound). You can hear the caller speaking down the line. You can also dial out and the person receiving your call will hear their phone ring and they can hear you speaking to them when they pick up the hand receiver.
It has a long modern flex and endpoint which fits into modern telephone circuits and lines. I would probably recommend that this is only purchased if you intend to use it with a BT Line.
It has a very lovely dial - with a black bakelite centre with a surround of shiny gold metal / brass where you put your finger into the holes to dial the number. Taken a few images in close-up so that you can see the nice condition that it is in.
There is a long length of cable on the phone, the dial turns readily and it rings. Fully marked with manufacturing details on the base. There might have been originally rubber feet? but this one has little round felt ones as shown.
No chips or cracks - one little ribbed area on the very corner tip of the cradle section.
The black bakelite is nice and shiny and not all dried out.
Dimensions: width of the handset is 9 inches.
The width of the main body of the phone is 5 1/2 inches. The depth is 7 inches. The overall height to the top of the handset is 5 1.4 inches.
A heavy and well-made vintage phone - it is over 2kg unpacked - so it will have to be sent with Parcelforce48 to UK addresses only.
As nice an example as you might find - you won't be disappointed with it. A great functional piece in a mid-century Scandi-modern interior.
