Anybody ever seen one of these?

I've not seen one, but looking at the mechanism, I laughed immediately when I realised what it's doing, wind up the crank which inflates the bellows, something releases them (can't quite make out what) and then "a powder" (hopefully just flour!) blows out the transmitter, that's definitely worth picking up for a phone collection!!!  ;D

You crank the phone and it shoots white powder out and shoots off a blank 32 cal shell.

I used to have an incomplete example of one of these. Mine was a compact wood phone.

Presumably yet anoypther use for obsolete Old phones. Looks like it was a real phone before the conversion.
