Gleaning at the City Dump #59

A perfectly good old phone left in the dump!
This was one of those finds that gave me the opportunity to return to my childhood...those days when I would have loved to tear anything apart just to see what was inside.

There are a few interesting things here that I'm already playing with for one of my pieces.  I love the circular shape in the opened shell, as well as the dial piece on the front.  There are two cool copper bells that I've also already extracted, as well as a few misc. cogs and wheels.   This was a nice find!  I'm wondering if these phones are generally quite hard to find today. I believe that when they were still in use, these black phones were "owned" by the phone company, and had to be returned to the company at some point.
