1946 Bell Western Electric F1 Black Phone Rope Cord

1946 vintage Bell Western Electric F1 black rotary telephone with rope cord
Untested

Metal dial must be manually released
Four ‘feet” on the bottom are in good condition
Black case has some cosmetic blemishes and paint loss, mostly around the handset
The rope cord is frayed in some places. I thought about wrapping brown duct tape to the areas but I’ll leave that up to the new owner
