Telephone figurine

[Sargeguy]

They have made a figurine to commemorate eBay auctions of old phones:

It's accurate right down to the missing dial card holder and crappy paint job.

Hope someone does not buy it thinking it works!

That's gotta be the ugliest figurine of any type that I've ever seen.  I couldn't imagine having that in my house... and I LOVE old phones!

The dreaded "telephone figurine" caught my eye also.  It looks okay as a little icon on ebay but when I look closer I just want to squirm.  I'm sure that this is not what Mark implied about appreciating ceramics.

The Horror.  Did you notice how the ceramic earpiece is crafted so that we can never tell if there are six or seven holes.  It's just plain wrong.
