IIRC someone was asking for one of these brackets not long ago. I came across this one:

Kinda high price in my opinion but then again they seem to be made of unobtanium.

Brackets are harder to find than the phone that it works for. $20 seems very reasonable.

Yes, absolutely. Seems to be many more phones than brackets available. I guess when they got removed from service the phone guy did not want to bother with the other 2 or 3 screws to remove the bracket! I got lucky a few years back and snagged 4 of them on eBay for under $20.00. I guess I was spoiled, that's why it seems like a high price to me!

I have a banana box full of both the 211's and brackets here somewhere. Started picking them up when I was working on the 2211 project for the TouchTone top.
