Hi all from Singapore,

I found this NATIONAL CREDIT STAMPING PHONE W/ WESTERN ELECTRIC 244-W HANDSET in ebay.

Just I'm curious about this.  
Do you know how it work?
Do you have it in your collection?
Thanks to enlighten me.

Probably a machine used in a retail store that has similar parts as a cash register that has an intercom line to someone who made credit decisions.  Probably not a phone used as a reglar phone.  These come up from time to time on e-bay.  I have never seen anyone that had a definitive answer as to the entire use.

A number of us have them.

Paul,

I should have known you would know.  I was pretty close in my guess.

Possibly literally true, as we live on different coasts.  However, there's no excuse for not having seen my site before!     (It's been up since 2009.)

Thanks Bill & Paul.
Now I'm a little less ignorant 

Hey Paul, your site is full of info, I love it.
Many curiosities there.
I'm in Singapore right now, tomorrow I'll go to visit a repair/collector place to see what he have for sale.
I hope to find some old Asiatic's phones... (Telecommunication here was managed by British, so probably not too much Asian stuff)

Thanks
Claudio

Paul,

I have been to your site a million times!  Apparently there is a cubby-hole or two that I haven't seen.  I also refer others to your site all the time.

I will log this in my memory bank for future reference.
