3-slot wooden directory shelf?

Can anyone point me to a drawing or practice so I can make a copy of the directory shelf usually found under a 3-slot wall mounted payphone? I realise the originals aren't wood, they're some kind of laminate over ply or particle board.

I've searched the forum, but either I'm using the wrong terms or they aren't a "thing".

Many thanks...

There were many styles used over the years.

Try looking in the TCI Library. There are a lot of catalogs and BSPs that may give you some ideas. A good starting search is...

Thanks for that!

I have a picture of what I'm thinking of in my mind, but can't figure out how to search on it :-)
So, process of elimination, it is!

You also may want to move this topic (or re-ask the question in a new topic; ask the moderators) in the Pay Phones-General forum. This specific forum is for phone booths but I am pretty sure you are asking about the non-booth wall shelves or "hutch"-type pay phone mounts.
