This is a vintage beige / pink phone from 1959.  It has a very long cord, although it seems like it doesn't have the connector at the end.  The cord also has a stickiness to it.  The phone itself is beautiful.  Not sure if it works.

It has 3 bids so far and is up to $20 plus $20 for shipping but there is a lot of that on the base around the feet and even though it is stamped 6/59, the handset has 7 holes. An early ABS plastic phone?
