Looking for B-17 telephone

I am looking for any help in finding a B-17 replica telephone probably made by Telemania (not really sure). My 92 year old Father in Law and I had seen one in a store in Golden, Colo. many many years ago and remarked how cool it was, but since I was not into collecting telephones back then I didn't buy it. He didn't either at the time but when he went back a few weeks later it was gone and the store owner said he wasn't able to get another. Since starting to collect over ten years ago I have always been looking for another for him. He is a WW2 vet that used to build runways for the B-17's (and other planes) toward the end of the war. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if someone knows who made it would be helpful. Thank you.

Definitely a B-17? Telemania did a P-51 Mustang. Few of those up on eBay at the moment.

Yes, a B-17. I got him the Mustang a couple of years ago. He remembers them very well from the era. Thank you for the reply.
