Wiring diagram on the outside?  Cool.  I like the three little lines top and bottom center front - they are a nice little Deco touch.

Even military stuff had style back then.

The best part is in the description - "MADE OF HEAVY METAL". 
So, what do you fellers think would be a good price for something like this?

Hey Foots, did you get the phone?  I think $25 was a good price for someone.  I see these phones on Ebay from time to time but usually not in that good condition, as they got a lot of heavy use.  That one is a 1951 so I imagine it was involved in the Korean War in one way or another, though not necessarily in Korea itself.
