Found this startling surprise in this booth while working on it today.

If it was a snake it could've bit you.

I've never that booth design before.  It looks like a 50s/60s design but with 1/4 the footprint....  can you shed any light on the design/history of this?   The snakeskin is cool also - the booth appears best used by slender callers- a snake fits right in.....

There was a similar shell shaped booth as well.

The snakeskin was in the newer booth on the right. That booth is a Canadian booth made by Jaro Inc. in 2000.

I didn't realize that was a phone booth. That looks quite skinny .

Here it is with a Millennium phone in it, which the booth was designed for.

It appears to be made of wood ?

Which the booth or the snakeskin? The booth is aluminum.
