A few weeks ago, I saw this crank-style telephone hanging on the wall to the left of the fireplace in the Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Waycross, Georgia. It’s plaque on the front says, “Chicago Telephone Supply Company Elkhart, Indiana, U.S.A.” I didn’t think to try turning the crank handle on the right side to see if the dynamo was still installed. Also, the top box seems to be missing the locking mechanism (just the hole is seen on the left under the ringer).
There is some dissonance viewing the phone from this angle, because you can see the flat screen computer monitors used by the restaurant employees in the alcove on the left.
