I got a birthday gift only a phone collector could appreciate: a nearly lifesized black pushbutton phone candle.  Indeed it was  found neglected on the clearance shelf of a "Home Sense" store---a department store with home decorator items similar to those at TJ Maxx or Home Goods. The string in the middle is the wick. I took a photo next to a real "rockford Files" style 2500.  (I have been unable to send or receive calls on my candle phone, but still love it :) )

The string needs to be tighter 😉
