Anita and I got out of town for a few days.  The hotel were we stayed had a strange looking telephone.  I didn't work, instead of a dial tone I got water in my ear.

Here I am listening for a dial tone.  Funny thing is, this hotel had many antiques for decor (Victrola, old radios) but not one vintage phone!

At least you retrieved the Transmitter; I saw it in the caddy, in the initial pic! ;D

Best regards, looks like a lovely place to stay. I'm curious as to where it might be located, if you don't mind sharing...

Very nice fedora, by the way; I have a few, and am quite partial to them, my dang self!

Best regards!
Sláinte!

The fedora is an Akubra Casual, most comfortable lid I've owned!  The hotel was the historic Crown Mansion in Qualicum Beach, BC:  http://www.crownmansion.com/
