Classic Rotary Phones Forum

I can't figure out whether this reminds me of a Hostess cupcake, or my dogs last excursion to the backyard ?
You decide.

Should I get a glass of milk, or a pooper scooper ?

Your just don't appreciate art it seems ;)

Apparently not... ::)

Thank goodness there is free shipping.  With that price, the seller is obviously very proud of it.

kinda made me want to vomit :(

Donna,

If you do, stick it to a phone and list it on ebay.

Be sure to add this to the "Hideous Phones" collection also!

D/P I gotta say all of the above; dog got a hold of a box of hostess and then went out to the backyard. :D

The sad thing is, I work hours on a phone to make it look good, and it sells for $50.00. This Chocolate nightmare will probably sell for the $129.00.

Here's another "creation" by the same artist. Porcupine fans rejoice!!!

Many times I have spent hours cleaning a phone and get like 5-8 dollars more than the last filthy one. I only clean them up if I keep them now. A quick wipe down is all they get if they are for sale.

Imagine how much sanding and polishing that one needs.

I vote for sand-blasting.

That black 500 that Dan posted (their other item) has a nice dial card.  Too bad that's going to go down with the ship.

I wonder why she didn't attach any spikes to the dial.  Maybe she ran out of silicone.  This "art" is likely to give me bad dreams tonight.

I kinda like them.  (dodges shoe, tin can, and old onion)

I will admit, a few years ago I bought this bulb.

should we have a new category titled WTH ??? :o

I'm the odd man out... There's something about this phone that I think is kinda cool. 

Please don't kick me outta the club!

I think the devil may have done it to ya. You are sitting on 1666 right now.  ;)

Bingster, I like the new Avatar.  But I liked the old one too.

It's me and you Bingster against the world! 

But since our dues are paid up I don't think we can be fired. ;)

Luckily, it does not appear that she has ruined anything of real value, just some late model modular phones.  (though that one dial card is pretty nifty)

Thanks, Dennis.  The old one was taken from a screen cap from the opening of "Our Mr Sun."  Remember that from science class, way back when?   The new one is the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company logo from a photo I took of the back of one of my phone books.

McHeath, we'll have to start a chapter of the "Artsy-Fartsy Phone Club."

Dan/Panther, that first phone does indeed strongly resemble a pile of dookey. What a crappy phone.

Geez, I just ate!

I guess what is art is in the eye of the beholder. Though they do seem kinda cool (dodges shoe, tin can, old onion AND tomato)
