The threaded stud shows some rust, while the mushroom cap seems more like stainless. I could take some more photos when I go to work tonight. It's definitely not removable, the thread and cap are permanently joined by what looks like a weld.

I just remember the actual head having about a 1" long female threaded hub on the back side to receive the 5/16" threaded rod. That's why we nicknamed them "mushrooms", because this hub looked like the stem of a mushroom with the obvious mushroom head. I installed hundreds of pay phones back in the 90s. I can't believe that I don't have any of these things left or at least a name/manufacturer for them! And they make fun of people for hoarding. If I had only kept those invoices or catalogs. Wait! I do still have my full set of Sprint/North Supply catalogs in storage and I purchased them through SNS. The end may be in sight. Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX

Don't second guess yourself. The Board is here to help you find all those things. And it works! Sam "Where are we going and why are we in this hand basket?"

I'm not likely to be installing any payphones, but those things could be really handy for mounting all kinds of other things through cement and especially crumbly old brick.
