Definitely a conversation piece. Paints, glues, coatings and shellacs used on this project will not tolerate cleaning with any chemicals. Use only a damp cloth to clean. This is a one of a kind hand painted and decoupaged Model 500.
This piece is themed on water.
The Model 500 came about as a replacement for the model 302 and quickly became the new workhorse of Northern and Western Electric line of telephones. The 500 was manufactured in many colours over the years but originally in black, brown, white, beige, blue, green, pink, and yellow. The phone hase been tested and works fine.
