This telephone has a chrome dial on each side for use by two different people. This eliminated the need to turn the telephone around when used by the other person. The handset is beautifully chrome trimed as is the cradle. The base is steel and has been refniished in black. We have finished this off with matching cloth covered handset and line cords. This antique telephone is wired to be used on today's phone system. There is an internal ringer and both dials work. One year limited warranty
