Featured Union Pacific Lineman Phone

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but what am I looking at? Any information would be great! Pardon the dinner setting!

 

A portable field phone. Perhaps adapted from an old military surplus one.

 

Any idea of where I could find info on what it may be worth?

 

That phone , next to your smart phone...would be good for the funnies thread !!!

I can't help....but there are phone collectors , & that one if complete my be sought after......IMO.

 

I don't see phone collectors for this sort. The military guys are probably out on this one too. I don't know if train junkies like this sort of thing.

The most similar ones on ebay are asking $200 and they're not selling.

 

John Galt? Who is John Galt? THAT John Galt?

EDIT
College flashback to reading "Atlas Shrugged"... over my dead body! Who knew it would pay off years later!

 

Know of any train junkies whose brains I can pick?

 

Welcome John!

There was a young woman who was a rail fan but don't think she's been back.
With some supposed 2,000 members I'd think there would be one.
I am but not at this level.
I did just buy two of those double playing card decks in the drawer dispensers.
SOO LINE

FRISCO.

 

Yummy Lunch.....

 

I was raised by a rail nut. I'm none too sure of the market for these phones, but electronics junkies are a market too. A rail fan who has to have one of everything would like it too.

 

God, he was so young-

 

Very nice fiesta blue! and the railroad locks...pass a chip please

 

It's from Idaho. Now, a lantern would be nice.

 

So, what gives.....do you have 3 ball and chains on that woman???? With the 3 heavy duty padlocks lined up in front of her????????

 

Saw him do this on stage at the Vegas Hilton loooong ago.

 

His 'Live at the Garden State Arts Center' album is great and a HUGE fave of mine.

 

Wow... he WAS amazing. Thanks for schooling me on him. Worth knowing.

 

Glen?

 

Yes!

 

If this is military surplus, what era is it from? WWII? Korea? Vietnam?
