Makes a person wish they could find the assassin who perpetrated that atrocity, and show 'em what that blue 302 was worth before they mutilated the poor thing.

The look on their face would be some consolation.

A payphone lamp, first one I've seen. Originally it seems to be a WE 233 QF.

There were two AE payphone lamps and only one WE payphone lamp already posted in this topic.

You can see them here

as #'s 58, 61 and 67.

This one, now #72, makes it two WE spiked payphones.

If it's any consolation, I have seen lamps made from antique electric toasters as well.

I have a lamp here somewhere that I am going to turn into a phone!

AE-Collector wants to make new friends amongst lamp collectors, they love it when rare lamps are turned into phones ;)

Are they supplying 120 VAC through the flat line cord :o  I wouldn't want that clock plugged in in my house.

No, Larry, you must be thinking of a Starlite!

Do you guys mean something like this antique floor lamp turned into a phone?

UPDATE:
This Rare phone was relisted, now at only $3,000.00 :o

Just learned on the lists that this was stolen from the phone collector who built it in 2003 along with some radios and tools. The member who knew the builder also knows the seller. It was purchased at a flea market close to where the builder lives.

Seller says it's a "Western Electric Cream-Colored 202 Non-Dial Telephone e/w LAMP." Being spiked, I don't think it can be called a telephone anymore.

$19.99 isn't bad for a painted parts phone, but the $25 shipping is a bit much. Wonder if asking the seller to cut the lamp off just above the handset would reduce the box size and shipping to about $12.00? 7 days to think about it.

Cut the lamp off, but keep the incandescent bulb, they'll be worth something in the next 10 years... :D

What! That beauty hasn't sold yet?
