Something special and unusual about this brown ITT desktop rotary phone...

I just won this brown ITT desktop off of Ebay.  It was a BIN and I just couldn't resist!  Something special and unusual about this one.  I'll let you review the photo and guess for yourself

Is it the curly cord?

It's hard to tell whether the cord is black or gray, but gray seems more likely than black. It doesn't belong on the phone age- or colorwise.
I am not sure I'd want to spend that amount for finding out.

Perhaps I am missing something of significance, but other than the mismatched handset cord, it appears to be a very common ITT brown telephone that is typically seen at a garage sale or Goodwill.

I messaged the seller.  They said it was gray.  I'm hopeful because I need one.

I saw that one, and thought Mahogany (since it had the grey cord), but said "nah".

Hope the cord is in good shape!

Wow, nice find!

I saw that, but I figured the cord was just a dusty brown. I didn't think anything of it.
