I've got just about the ugliest phone I've ever seen--it's a rotary wall set in a pukey green with cream trim. The handset can hang over the dial or be on top, sort of a two-way cradle. There is nothing written anywhere on it, but it has a logo that has a T crossing an N inside a diamond shape. I was told by the guy who I got it from that it was a takeout from a warehouse in Chicago where it was part of a ringdown intercom system. It works fine, and is installed in my house. I suspect it might be Japanese. As a collector, I'm curious to hear from anyone who's seen one before.

May be Nordic in origin. GTE used a bunch made in Sweden? Ericsson, Maybe? good luck. ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/forum/wink.gif)

I thought of Northern Telecom... How about Nippon Telecom--it's as ugly as a 1972 Datsun ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/forum/smile.gif) jsaxe

Hey a 72 Datsun pickup was my first vehicle....Dad bought it new for 1,200 when I was a month old. He drove it until my brother turned sixteen then I got it when I turned sixteen, still pass the guy we sold it to driving around every now and then. That thing will proably still be running when my new Dodge gives out.

Thanx for the replies. I think I'll open it up and look inside again. It wouldn't be installed at all except my XYL likes it, so maybe I'll move it into her new sewing/laundry room(that used to be my shop...)
Hey, no hard feelings about the Datsun - my first car was a 1957 Dodge Royal Lancer (pukey green) with fins out to there and a pushbutton automatic transmission (and "yeah... It had a hemi")

Actually it sounds like a northern telecom set. I saw one just like it in my wife's grandmothers house just b4 she sold it. I wanted it bad but I don't know what happened to it.
