Gack! Another beautiful example of hideous telephones. But we never know;

Underneath all those sparkly stars might be a 1949 WE 500.

At least it's not a lamp. ;)

So, then the age old question is "Does it really ring?"  Or better yet, when someone here asks why their phone doesn't ring, the fact that it might be lost in outer space might be one thing they should check!

Someone had a lot of fun painting that phone.

that is one ugly phone.  hopefully is just crafter's paint & won't be too hard to clean up. is that a "curly" line cord too?

Yeah I agree, under all that is the only surviving 49' model 500. :P

bwanna

nobody wanted to gamble, it didn't sell.

Bet I could e-mail the seller and make them an offer on that stary wonder.   ::)

I've seen these from time to time, 70s stuff I believe.  Now this one WOULD look better as a lamp!

Or as an Arab coffee grinder or water pipe.

bwanna

i kind of like it :) put light bulbs in the ear/mouth pieces. need black cords, tho. as a phone or lamp, would be a good conversation piece.

huuumm.......a pipe you say :o

Ellen

Yes, dear Bwanna-Donna,

Get your mind out of the clouds and hie thee to your local Arab grocery and ask if they have a brass water-pipe.  It will look kind of like this and they will also have apple-flavored Turkish tobacco for it.  Yuk.

Please calm down.  I don't understand women let alone cats and ducks.

I miss you!

hey hobie, i missed you too  :'(

thank you for the info, ellen. i am familiar with the middle eastern water pipe. my son's friend has one & uses the flavored tobaccos. i didn't care much for it. she also favors little clove ciggies. to each his/her own. :)
