@philip - I hate the term "pipe porn" or the use of the word "porn" to describe any subjects which are not pornagraphy. Not that I've have never viewed porn, I just had to see the word applied to pipes, cars, cigars, etc.
@motie2 - My father always claimed to be second cousins to that famous cowboy movie and rodeo star Hoot Gibson. We have never done the research to prove it though.
@PappyJoe It not so much the phone on the wall that intrigues me as much as the device hanging next to it, which is most visible in the first picture. I'm not sure what it is ... but it's shape leads a man like me with a dirty mind to think's it's some supercharged industrial vibrator.
Oh my. Someone has hacked your account professor and is posting some pretty blue comments.
Mounted on the wall next to the telephone is an intercom. We are obviously looking into a European apartment, probably British. The decor looks older, but the photography suggests something more modern, so it's a 'retro' design.
My personal opinion is the people involved in this photograph thought the entire setup was, what they would call, "classy" but it's really rather cheap. I'm talking about the Kaywoodie of course.
I think ghosts may have actually hit the nail on the head. Nowdays, they are discreetly disguising these "toys," in order to keep them from inadvertently being brought out when company is visiting. In addition, having it corded means it can be wired into a 220 instead of a 110 if the need arises.
With todays technology, debacles such as these are a thing of the past.
