Ericofons were the "Stylish one piece phone" designed by Ericsson in Sweden. They later bought North Electric in Ohio and made them in the USA as well. This was the first one piece telephone made and is a design favorite. The rotary dial is on the bottom, and you hang up the phone by putting it down. The rotary dialed Ericofons may or may not have a ringer on them while the very rare European Ericofon 700's which never made it to the US all have ringers on them. They come in all colors essentially with even a rare and much sought after clear color who's transparent plastic allows the user to see the inner workings. Some Ericofons for sale can be found at the following links with prices in the $75- $200 range depending on color and dialing method (rotary or push button). Also a search on ebay yielded 36 auctions for Ericofons.... http://www.ericofon.com/ -Everything you ever wanted to know about these strange phones http://www.vintagephones.com/Ericofon.html -Big selection with 1 year warranty but only the earlier rotary types available here http://www.oldphones.com/ericofon.html http://www.thephonesource.com/antiques.htm#PS507001 -Check under the RETRODESK item type http://members.aol.com/recollectn/phones3.htm -OK selection here with many colors and dialing types Katherine Benson wrote: > I don't have any info on them, but am interested too... > Please let me know as well if you can get a hold of one or two.. > Kate > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Sun, 12 Mar 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Hello, > > I`m after one of those odd standing up phones, I believe called > > Ericaphones, and I believe to be Swedish.
