Oh, they are phones... Scrolling fast can be confusing.

“The Dial in the Base ‘Comes to You!’”

Why?

I thought this was interesting, from Wikipedia:

As the Bell System did not permit the operation of third-party equipment on their network, the Ericofon could only be used by independent telephone companies in the United States. North Electric in Galion, Ohio, manufactured the Ericofon for the North American independent market.

Also known as the “cobra phone”

Looks interesting, but it's probably not comfortable to use

Flared base. Approved.

An old boss of mine collected them, and used one as part of his desk set. Apparently they were notoriously poorly made, and broke all the time even when new. You ended the call by setting it back down on your desk or table, which depressed a button.

We had the Taj Mahal

is this still available?

Delightfully phallic
