In David's angle I can see 4 phone signs. The first angle only shows 1 1/2.

I've seen one today, it's not old, it is definitly "original"  We visited tadaya valet mountain cabin (google translate)
The sign is lokated at the only spot nerby where your sellphone get in contact with the network.   ;D

About 25 kilometers to nearest building connected to the grid.

Me too until you posted it.

Not a photo but close. One in a series of postcards post 1908 put out by AT&T. This one shows phone booths in a train station.
