Italian Siemens Phone

[HobieSport]

Well, just when I thought I'd stop acquiring phones for awhile this one came up today, and I had always wanted a Siemens phone of the old German or Italian style.  It was $90 for Buy It Now but they accepted my offer of $45.  A bit pricey for me but a welcome addition to my collection of mid century international phones.

It has no chips or cracks, but I won't know what year it was made (in Milano, Italy) until it arrives.  I'm not sure what the two screw holes on the front are for.  Perhaps a name-plate of some kind?

That looks like something from a swanky hotel lobby. not bad for $45 bucks.

Once you hook it up, don't press the white button no matter what!  It will unleash 1.1 jigawatts of power and send you back to the future!   


Nice looking phone.

I looked at one like this but it had a crack on one side of it so I passed. I like the looks of those. As far as the holes in the front, I "think" there is supposed to be a thing on the front that has a little white card for a phone number, though I may be wrong.

Foots I also saw that Siemens phone on Ebay with the chip off the side, and they still wanted over a hundred bucks BIN or best offer, so I also pasted it by.

McHeath I think the white button actually connects the caller directly to Mussolini's ghost.  Or was it Fellini?  Or better yet, Giulietta Masina or Sophia Loren.

Warning:  racy picture of Sophia Loren on phone:

Glad to see you back Matt. I missed your racy photos ( insert eyebrow smiley here)

[HobieSport]

Thanks Steve, I have a million of 'em.

[Steve]

Thanks Matt. they don't make 'um like that anymore.

Yeah, you're telling me, I wish the new models were built like that!

Marilyn Monroe on a telephone.  What better a combination could there ever be?
Well, besides Cindy, of course.

[Steve]

Cant go wrong with Marilyn, but Sofia is everymans dream come true in that clip. Cindy aint bad, shes just drawn that way

[HobieSport]

Audrey ain't too shabby either.  What this has to do with Italian Telephones I'll never know, but who cares?

[Steve]

 What movie is that clip of Sofia from? she did a movie called the dolphin? I believe it was, what a hottie! ever see the rose tattoo? I know its not Sofia, but it reminded me of that for some odd reason.

[Steve]

That second photo reminds me of why it's great to be a man. it just oozes sexuality, without being vulgar. thank you.

[Steve]

 I can picture Lauren calling Bogie on that phone. I wish she would call me
