Those commemorative Olympics phones are downright fugly, but the handsets on them remind me of Alexis Carrington-Colby-Dexter removing an earring prior to taking a call.

 

The see-through phone in the 114 million ad is, I think, the only 2500 model I've ever seen without a modular mounting cord.
 
I remember one apartment we lived in SF in the 60's, had a little nook with a shelf in the entry hall, just big enough for a telephone. Of course, with a telephone outlet as well. There wasn't enough room for a chair, so I remember having to stand there to talk to my girlfriend while my nosy little sister stood there, staring and eavesdropping. Eventually in a fit of economy, Mom cancelled the phone service and I used the pay phone in a nearby gas station. Again, had to stand! Good times!
 
Prior to the interior demolition of my house, the entry hall had a recessed telephone shelf. It was just a homemade plywood box trimmed out with casing to match that on the doors and windows. It stuck into the coat closet about a foot. A phone jack was installed at the rear of the enclosure.

That part of the house is still the entry, but the walls have been moved a couple feet to have a larger living room (formerly the kitchen).
