Heavy bakelite cases and mechanical buttons were typical of Soviet office equipment of the period. Today a complete set with its handset and cord is a good fit for collectors of Soviet office equipment and Cold War decor, or for anyone who likes a solid vintage rotary phone as a display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoviet KD-6 telephone with metal nameplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal handset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal curly cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671576707221,"sku":"v1|407023611925|0","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_0d6bef35-79e6-42b6-b3e2-73d13f5e9720.jpg?v=1791481582","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-telephone-kd-6-director-desk-phone-6-line-bakelite-1972","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
