Erm, any more info, or pictures, or anything that would assist in working out what that is?

Here is a video. I'm sure many other companies have copied the design. It's very popular.

See if this link will work, If it does then you all know all I have to go by. I have saw photos of a bunch that look like a cheap something. This looks different to me. Seems a little high to me but he says open to offers. What would be a fare offer, that is if it is worth anything.

I believe that a large number of those 1930s vintage phones from Denmark were refurbished with repro parts and sold in the USA a few decades ago.  I see them more than occasionally.

I run into these in antique stores every so often.  They seem to always want between $40 and $120, depending on the store.  $20-40 seems reasonable to me, if in good condition.

I almost bought one from a craigslist seller in the area for $30, but he sold it to someone else before I had a chance to meet with him.  I wouldn't pay much more than that.

Arthur Seifert of New York City sold them in the 1960s for $35.

One was just listed on eBay starting at $19 plus shipping.

Has a bit more rust on it. Is that base/shell cast bakelite or stamped metal?

[LarryInMichigan]

I think that the bodies of these are all stamped steel.
