I have both, since I need a corded phone to plug in my tape recorder for interviews. Too bad my current corded phone, a vintage genie, is biting the dust. I started searching online for a replacement only to find some of the most ridiculous phones (and some rad phones). After the jump a roundup of ten of the weirdest and a few unique vintage phones out there.
