Vintage Nokia C16 Transmobile Bag Phone Gold Series C250 MkII Boxed Untested

Before smartphones, a call on the go meant a transportable like this one: a Nokia C16 bag phone, built for analog AMPS cellular service and powered from a car's 12V lighter socket. This is the C16C Transmobile kit in its black Gold Series carry bag, with the Nokia carton and a Spanish CTIA leaflet dated 10/93. It is a fun piece for vintage tech collectors, retro display shelves, or film and photo props. Analog AMPS service has long since ended, so this is offered as a collectible.

Details

• What you get: Nokia C16C Transmobile with the C250 MkII aluminium transceiver, handset with coiled cord, 12V lighter-plug power cord, antenna, two straps, a boxed earpiece/mic set, the CTIA leaflet, the Gold Series bag, the Nokia carton and the shipping box.

Condition: Sold untested and as-is for collectors. The handset display looks hazy. The antenna's black outer sheath is torn and taped, with the white rod showing. The bag has scuffs, creases and a small torn spot, and the carton and shipping box are stained and scuffed. The serial numbers on the carton labels differ from those on the transceiver and handset, so please see the box as a companion carton - see photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
