Is that a reproduction with modern innerds? I sold an original just like that for $20 in an antique mall a few years ago.

Back when "I love Lucy" was still in production, everybody's phone looked like that. You didn't own a phone back then. The phone company provided it as a part of their service. They were indistructable.
