Our next auction is for all the fans of pink telephones.  This one is a particularly nice Stromberg-Carlson.  I believe it's a 1543, and it looks like it was just taken off Mamie Eisenhower's bedside table.

What do we think this one will go for?  Get your guesses in before the auction's final day, and you could be the next winner!

Not very Deco, and I don't like the feet.  They are too dark.  I'm snappy and picky today.

I think your subconscious remembers Pepto-Bismol pink, hence the queasy association.....
