That's a very cool phone !
Nowadays, that would be called "steampunk".

There's a couple payphones left around here. There is or was a phone booth near a restaurant too still. I haven't been there since corona virus hit so don't know if it's still there. I think there's also one I saw on the side of a gas station lately.

Around the turn of the century, I installed high speed switches for dsl at central offices. In Louisiana they had some ancient machines in there that connected the calls at all the pay phones connected to that office. A central office covers about four square miles around it. You’d be surprised how often one of those old mechanical switches moved to connect a call. They were referred to as “quarter machines” because that sound meant somebody dropped one in a phone. They were still using those decades old things because they were stone reliable.

I shall post some soon. It's a very cool phone. I remember as a little kid loving to crank the handle and hear the bells. I'm going to weigh it too.

Are you sure that's not something the homeless guy might leave in a field
