Card phone near me.

Not something that interests me, but somebody here likes these.  Price seems steep.

This is an early Western Electric Card Phone. This was one of the first (or THE first) speed dialers. It came with plastic cards (not included) that you punched the numbers out of and stored in the open spaces at the top of the phone. When you made the call, you just slipped the card in like a credit card and the phone would dial the number for you. Scarce Item in great condition.

Price is a wee bit high for beige, but not totally out of line.  That's typically what you see them going for in the common colors.

By the way, I have some NOS cards for sale for this type of phone, if anybody needs some.
