Unusual Payphone 1950ish “Panel Phone” -  Probably stainless steel, since the sides are so nicely polishable and it is not light weight like aluminum. Having a rotary dial; not touch tone suspects it to be prior to the 1960s. Evidence says that they were made to be in airports, bus and train stations, and truck stops in the Northern America hemisphere larger cities guessing from 1950 to the 1990s. This is one style out of probably 20 or more variations of panel phones. (See book on payphone era history sold here on eBay at .95

910 old porcelain signs on 75 pgs in a 475-pg book "Payphone History". Not 3-Slots, but one slot (for all coins? Probably) you don't see the handset here but it can be had: beige with armored cord for only more. These were installed so that either a cavity in the wall or a “box” that the parts behind the panel here recessed into. I don't know if any mechanical or electrical parts are absent from behind the panel, do don't be unrealistically expectant. Bob P. took in hundreds of semi loads of old payphones and other phones our of mostly Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba starting probably in the 1950s or 1960s and ending when he sold out to Pac Tel who sold half of the inventory to Paul V. and half to me in 1991. In 1980, I bought and hauled over 20 40 ft semitrailers full out of one of his Turtle Lake buildings. He then filled it up again. Bob left much history. He was in Ripley's Believe It or Not and Genius Book of Records as having the most phones in the world, claiming he had a million. Even though he sold over 30 semi-loads to Pac Tel in 1991, he kept one large building with 20 more loads in it. Bob has been gone for 15 or 20 years now and nothing much left of the memories of Bob's experiences unless you lived there in 1926 and there after. But I can't remember with exactness of when these panel phones were hauled here in 1980 or in 1991.
