This morning, I bought an old phone that sits on a wood box with a crank. The box and phone have a cord that attaches them together.
The box has nice details- dovetail fitting and brass hinge. The handset is "Western Electric, USA, F1W" but I didn't find a mark on the phone body. The handset cord is braided. I could hear a bell inside the wood box. I'm still trying to figure it out. The darn thing is a back-breaking 13.3 lbs. I don't know why it's so heavy but I'm planning to open the box and look inside. So, if anyone wants to call me, my new phone number is 14703 + 3 short rings. No texting plz. tty!
