What goes through a person's mind that convinces them "I'm going to take working phone with an award winning design, gut the thing, and fill it with cement......and call it art (!?!)" Its even more useless than if where just a broken phone, cement cant be fixed....

This isn't a lamp, but a phone atrocity just the same.

They say it's a 1942 phone bird house.

It must have been made during that pesky Birdhouse shortage during the war... ::)

Think you meant "  . . . didn't harm . . . "

Seem to be mounted on a back board and the plumbing attached to the board, not the phone. Still a bit high for the phone itself.

Yes, you are right John. I fixed it. I must of had a senior moment and forgot what I was typing.  ;)

After seeing this Steampunk pay phone lamp I was wondering if this stuff sells. Apparently it does, I found this parking meter lamp that sold for $800.00!! Plus over $100.00 shipping!!

I have one and I love it. It works with coins and the meter runs the lamp for the duration of the coin used. Great ticking sound as it runs. One of my favorite lamps in my phone room as my lamps are not conventional lamps!!

I guess I am "steampunk" although I am not quite sure what it means  ;D I have been called worse  8)....Doug

Do you have to keep putting change in the meter to keep the light on?

Yes....its very cool as a quarter gets you and hour ..etc. When its stops ticking the light goes out. ....Doug
