I've only ever seen a couple of these, picked this up for $10 today and, man... This thing is weird. Thought some might enjoy.

At least it has a modern network. I have seen them with an ind coil out of an AE type 40

Mine has an old 302-class coil and no ringer inside...

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!

It sounds rather these were made up from whatever suitable parts were available at the time?
