Ha You are funny dizzy I really like all of you guys.
This is a Japanese-made phone from the early 1960s. They were made in imitation of phones made in Denmark by the Kobenhavns Telephon Aktieselskab (Copenhagen Telephone Company) in the early part of the 20th century. You saw them in gift catalogs in the early 60s and they came in ivory, black and gold. Sold for around $50.
