Hello. I have one of these in perfect condition. No cracks or nibbles. It has just taken me an age to find out what model it is due to the different shape and I can't find another for sale anywhere. Could someone give me an idea how much they sell for please. It has a black curly cord from handset to base and then a modern white wire from base to connection point. I appreciate your time and expertise.

Because it was not sanctioned by the GPO and so lacks the authenticity of being used in the home (in this country at least, except for Kingston-upon-Hull, perhaps), I would say between £10 and £30.

This particular instrument was popular with the private telephone contractor 'Telephone Rentals'.

It has the TR marking on the handset. Thanks for replying. V helpful.

£56.84 according to this (assuming the second highest bidder still wants one)
