This telephone is not mine, but I wished it was. Used by Admiral's or ships Capt. on large ships like the Battleship or Aircraft Carriers. Note the two anchors on each side of the dial. manufactured in 1951 by Automatic Electric Co of Chicago, IL who made many ship board telephones for the Navy.

AR8Jason, This information comes from a long time telephone collector (50 Years) who is retired and lives in Hemet,CA. It is for sale at the tune of $7,500. It is still in the original 1951 wooden crate that was being shipped to the Navy. phone and equipment weights 120lbs. It is a very interesting phone, but the price tag is out of line.
Gorgeous Piece and so Unique Nice Tom!
Extremely rare and beautiful piece. It is nice to see such truly authentic Admirals phone in such pristine condition.
AR8Jason~you were mentioning areas that would show authenticity. where would these be located on the phone? And are there any other areas to identify?
The reason I ask is because I have the exact same style phone (definately been used). This phone weighs a ton (figurativly speaking). The screws had been removed to take off the top (casing that holds the receiver) inside is a
U(anchor)S stamp.
On the front it has a tag that says "Executive Right of Way" Next to that it has the tag just below the dial "Type D Telephone Automatic Electric Company" Below the lights is a tag that has
POWER CH. STAFF FLAG FLAG CAPTAIN OD
PLOT OFFICE
Would be great to hear back as to what it is I have here.
AR8Jason~I posted a show & tell as I could not figure out how to put the photo's in here. Hope the pic's help.
Now you know where part of your tax money goes.
You got that right!!!!
They had this exact phone on "Pawn Stars" last night, guy wanted like $5k....wound up selling it for $500. Lots of these are still around.
It's not a rare as they think, condition has a lot to do with the price, but not 5000
Yeah, the only cool thing on this phone is the "Nuke" button. I guess you could launch some serious bombs from this phone. The old man "Pawn Stars" only gave the guy $500. for it.
Thank you inky
I just saw this again, and had to "love" it again, and tell you how wonderful it is to see it. Thank you.
Thank you again miKKoChristmas11
The two guys on the American Picker show hagled with a person who had a phone like this. They gave him $130. I noticed they didn't show what they would ask for it or say they were getting it appraised.
