Looks cool to me. Maybe someone collects these?

That is the version which was used by the phone company in Sweden.  It looks like the "Candle Glow" color which is not rare nor especially valuable.  With a bit of effort, one can be found for well under $55.  This one might be worth more since it is the Swedish domestic model. 

Take a look at the dial.  The numbers appear to be printed on an overlay sticker.  Since this phone was made for the Swedish domestic market, the dial would have been numbered 0-9 (Swedish style) instead of 1-9,0.

Ah, I like ercafons, though when buying them make sure they buzz or chirp. If not, just don't buy it.
