It is a post-Soviet piece rather than a USSR item, and it was widely used across Ukraine in the 2000s with prepaid smartcards. It still has its original black armored handset, its metal mounting bracket and its Ukrainian instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Street payphone \/ public phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukrtelecom \/ Telecard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Telecard-121 (Телекарт-121)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacture Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 2005 (07.2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue housing, black handset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukrtelecom logo, model specification TU U 32.2-23464936-027-2001, emergency numbers 01, 02, 03, 04, Ukrainian instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-duty blue street-grade case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original black heavy-duty handset with armored, metal-braided cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated key lock cylinder (key not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePre-owned vintage condition with authentic signs of street use: paint scuffs, scratches, chips and minor surface wear.
