This is amazing!....Doug

"Offering this up one time for this price. This was in the floor of an old bell building in CT and was removed before a re-model. I'm assuming it was in the lobby but the gentleman I got it from couldn't remember. 18". Everything is embossed. Cash deal picked up in RI. Price is firm. I think you'd be hard pressed to find another one of these. Very unique piece."

If genuine (looks ok to me), not toooo silly, at $450, thought they would be asking more.

That is pretty amazing. What a great find. Are you going to get it? I also would have expected a higher price. I am sure the seller is right, you will not find another like it.

I was born & raised in SNET territory, Stamford Connecticut. I had a phone installed in my bedroom by SNET when I was 15 years old. I got my first cell phone from them as well. If I had a shop I would definitely find a way to get it and install it in the floor.

It would look so much better in the foyer. I suspect you'd get the same response, however.  ;)
