Deco-Tel French style rotary telephone in the blue and white jasperware look popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The label on the underside reads American Telecommunications Corporation, Los Angeles, California, Model No. CSC1111 W, with a serial number below it. Molded blue panels carry raised white classical figures and floral swags set into gold colored metal trim.

The line cord ends in a modern modular plug. It stands about eleven inches tall to the top of the handset. Condition is good with plating wear and light tarnish on the gold colored trim, a few small scuffs on the base, and normal handling marks. This phone has not been tested and is being sold as a decorative piece. Authenticity has not been verified by Crawford Auction Service. Estimated Value: $35 to $60 based on comparable recent sales.
