I bought this Strowger candlestick off Ebay and it had many issue's. the dial card and the dial card cover plate were missing. It was missing the ring control button at the bottom, and it had the wrong transmitter face plate, plus it was all brass. Several months later the candlestick has been restored.

   Did you do the restoration job yourself? It looks amazing!

   Wow Tom, what a great restoration you did there! Gotta get me a cool Candlestick phone!

   aycockonxion, I did most of the restoral myself, however I left the nickel plating up to a professional. I do nickel plating, but not on this scale. I plate transmitters, back cups and hookswitchs, thumb screws and nuts.
