This is an old pole climbers field phone I got a few weeks ago, it is the old clip on type that you would just climb a pole and clip to the open wires. Phone box is wood with early bakelite handset and looks to be still functional. If you are a polecat, have a yardpole, or have pole climbing/railroad related collectibles, this is a great addy to your collection! Re listing with better price! WAS asking $40 plus shipping. NOW $20 plus $12 shipping in US.
