This is a great piece on eBay. This is an old Bell System stool. Tough to find in this excellent condition. This is not mine....Doug

Boy would that look great right under my Oak wall phone. Probably go for big bucks. Maybe make a good auction item for our forum.

What exactly was it's purpose?  With a slot in the middle, I assume it wasn't to park your butt on.

Briny, I don't know for sure but I'm thinking the slot is a handle and the stool was for short people to stand on while they spoke into a wooden wall telephone.

Half circle "water" stain. Uh-huh, now we know!  Bell employees used it as a lunch table in the field!  Not that I fault them for that, mind you.
