This telephone is a Western Electric Bell System Princess rotary desk phone in beige. Introduced in 1959 with the famous advertising catchphrase \"It\'s little, it\'s lovely, it\'s light,\" the Princess phone became an iconic staple of mid-century American decor thanks to its compact oval footprint and lighted rotary dial. The rotary mechanics work. It is ideal for adding an authentic retro aesthetic to a prop set, home office, or vintage display, or for dramatic rotary-dialing your friends to complain about modern smartphone battery life.
