This is a working rotary dial telephone, presented to my father on the occasion of his 1970 departure from his job as Public Works Officer, Naval Station Guam. That job encompassed many things, including keeping the utilities working from the telephone system to the electrical grid. It’s in the shape of a latte stone, a two-piece pillar used as a building support throughout the Marianas Islands.
Kewl! I wondered about the combination of stone pillar and red plastic handpiece. So was this for “the hot line”??
Its first use was here in Hawai’i, which was Dad’s next duty station. It still works just fine, too.
