Very cool. I have never seen a phone quite like it.  I am going for the low bid of $1,200.00.

A phone phanatic since I was less than 2 (thanks to Fisher Price); collector since a teenager; now able to afford to play!
Favorite Phone: Western Electric Trimline - it just feels right holding it up to my face!
