and who can accuse Telecom Eireann of having no taste. This phone was around for a while: [Linked Image from telephonelines.net] quite a popular 1980s st patricks day gift! Extremely valuable collectable item.

In the P&T days these were the norm:

Previously they were a little more like this and came in Black, Ivory (kinda beige), or Red..

These were practically unbreakable ...

There was a wall mounted version that looked like this:

(ours were identical but without generally without the dial letters)

Not all that similar to BT / GPO.
