A most unusual design, comfortable to talk on and quite durable. This swedish telephone made by Ericconin 1955 (LME) is the first stylized space saving phone that has the dial (rotary or touchtone) on the bottom. Made in quite a variety of colors and some very rare.Commonly called the Ericafone. This will get some attention! Pick it up to get a dialtone (dial is on the bottom). Set it down to hang up. Doesn't ring - add $16 for a warbler ringer
