Old crank phones like this were often turned into "intercoms" from farm house to barn after they were retired from service as regular phone equipment. They were a hot item in the late 80's to early 90's. Values for them have cooled somewhat since then. Here's a link for you regarding values. http://oldphoneman.com/ForSale/awoodphone.htm Lovejoy
