    Something like the one below? Try ebay, car boot sales or auctions in your area I would say.

    Yep like that in ivory, have tried Ebay but having no luck with the bids. Will look out for car boot sales.

    I've got a black bakelite one somewhere. Was using it right up to a couple of years ago - was only scrapped because of incompatibility with DSL filters

    Something similiar to this

    I had this notion of somehow wiring the handset from an old phone to the plug in attachment for the hands-free earpiece/mic for a mobile, then set the ring tone to imitate an old style ringing phone. Picture it, phone rings in pub, reach into your jacket pocket and produce handset, cue laughter all round. Or maybe not, now where'd I leave my meds...

    Moved office recently and found a Nokia 2110 in a box. Charged it up and it still works :eek:.
