Hi all,

I recently received this nice AE40 with chrome trim in the mail equipped with an unusual five-prong plug. Was this phone used on a special phone system? Thanks

What you have there is a Jones connector.  I found one, along with its wall plate on a Kellogg MK500 set.  I posted some pictures of it here:

There are other interesting connectors and some other Jones connectors in that thread, too.  Interesting reading.
