Posted by Paul I am looking to purchase one of the 1950s vintage rotary phones, vertically configured, that had a porcelein dial face standing out on its own, with a small box beneath it, and an integral bracket and cradle as a hangup-hook. The unit was typically mounted at the edge of a countertop or on a desk. I don't know where they hid the bell. There is a touch-tone version that looks like this: http://www.oldradioparts.com/pg5p56.jpg Paul/WA3VJB

But I think the rotary type would be a better fit with my vintage ham radio studio to mount alongside all the vacuum-tube gear I'm running.
Here are a coupla pictures I've unearthed:

Thanks for any leads. I'm not a dealer nor collector. Just want a working example to actually use !!!
