ttech, thanks for that! Yup, there it is. I didn't think it was antique since the customer said he got it Thailand 20 some years ago, which would correspond to the info at your link.

rustynails - that was the first thing I asked! No bowl? No hoses? What good is that thing?

So far all I can find wrong with it is it's always off-hook and the dial doesn't return completely, although it's far enough to complete a call correctly. Maybe get to it on Sunday.

Thanks, all!
