This phone is a typical phone used by military or railway people on their exchanges. It has been manufactured starting in the 1950s for many years. Basic material is bakelite. It has the same shape as the keysystem #600

How did I obtain this phone?

I must have been in the mid 1990s. I came in the office of Vic Kemps, our project leader of military projects. I saw this phone on his desk, and said "Waw, what a nice phone". Vic said "do you want to have it? Just take it, I will get another one". So easy as that!
