Can you imagine how dirty that must get after a couple year's use?  It wouldn't be out of place in a bawdyhouse.

bingster,

I'd rather not try to imagine.  Someone here could start a whole new thread on cleaning techniques.  Anyway, I'd be afraid that it might bite me if I pushed any of its buttons.  Surprisingly ;), nobody has bid on it yet.  I wonder what kind of lamp it would make  :D.

Awesome?  More like "shock and awe" to borrow a phrase, and not to be political.

My flea market find a few years ago, the right one of these.
The leather telephone. Not as warm and comfortable for whats inside, as fur :)
Still for about $ 5-6.  Some fun.  It is really professional made, and has to be handmade.

I really like that leather phone, actually. The shape of the two phones reminds me of a phone Northern Electric once made.  I think it was called ;) the "Contempra," but I'm too lazy to go look it up.

I actually like the zebra phone, it's silly but well done and kinda cool to me.  That phone in the dummy is a little weird, but I'm guessing that eventually they will be installing the things in our heads so that we have access all the time, so we may all end up looking like that.   :o
