Chinese Dragon Telephone, circa 1980s

About the Item

A very beautiful, rare, and exotic Chinese dragon landline telephone, circa 1980s-1990s. Phone is a hard carved wood with all the details of a dragon (claws, tongue, horns, tail, etc.) Phone handle has a beautiful oval piece of polished emerald green jade or other similar stone along with carvings in Chinese. A 'red' light on top of dragon's pearl indicates phone is 'on'. Dragon's green eyes light up when phone rings. There's also a small display area with a background of a palm tree, island and water. This area illuminates when phone is on/in use (shows number dialed and length of time on call.) Phone was tested on a U.S. landline and is in fine working order for incoming and outgoing phone calls.
