This 8 lb vintage brass heavy iron rotary phone is a rare and unique collectible item that harkens back to a bygone era of telephones. With its sturdy construction and rotary dial, it is a piece of nostalgia from the 1970s that would appeal to collectors of vintage telephones. Its classic design and sturdy materials make it a distinctive addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the history of communication technology. Asian inspired engravings on the metal base. Not sure if it works. Dial does turn but cord looks a bit worn. Very long cord.
