I was digging through a few of the 60s/70s JCPenney catalog to find a Penncrest clock/radio I own and came across this page with the phones on it. The thing on this page of the 1965 catalog that caught my eye was the "switchboard" that they were selling for $6.44, and I'm wondering, does anyone has one of these?

I like how the try to sell the functionality of the unit, clearly in order of practicality; "Good for play and gossip... makes a fine intercom too"  ;D
