I HAVE THIS SAME PHONE MINE ALSO HAS A PEN HOLDER MY MOM BOUGHT IT AT A PAWN SHOP IN VAGES MINE HAS A DATE ON BOTTOM OF 1960 I REALLY WANT TO KNOM WHAT ITS WORTH. MINE WORKS ITS REALLY COOL.
I own one of these that I bought in a vintage shop. It is a Replica of a French Sultan Rotary Phone with Pedestal. It is an eye catcher to put in your living room, but I am afraid it is not as valuable as it may look. MANY of these replicas were made and sold for about $50 each. When I went to buy it (about 10 years ago) there was a second hand one in the room and since it was a returned item they sold it to me for $20. They're harder to find now so it makes them worth about $75. If everything in tact - the phone is working and the pen is in place - then it's about $100-$120. It's not antique. It's just a decoration piece. But yes, it's definitely worth fixing it up and keeping because of how unique and interesting it looks.
