Sunday's Treasure



Visited an antique shop today and I saw a fab pair of French binoculars but Mr VL fell in love with this French/Belgian cast iron and bakelite phone from the 1930's
He won!
Check out the carry handle!!

    So gorgeous! I love old rotary phones, and this might be my favorite I've seen so far!

    I bought the same phone in working conditions about 12 years ago and the seller told me it was the 1st movile phone (as it has a handle). I had it plugged at the beginning, but the ring is too loud and I couldn't stand it. Enjoy it!!
