Features
The Swedish field telephone used to have a number scroll as an accessory that brings back memories for those of us who had to dial the numbers properly “a few” years ago. This is a really cool steam punkesque gadget that is essential for all the brave adventurers journeying to the center of the Earth and beyond.
The leather case is so stylish that you might simply buy this for the case and take the scroll just as a bonus feature. The size, shape, and color of these cases can vary to some extent. The average outer dimensions are c. 13 x 10 x 6 cm (5.1” x 3.9” x 2.4”), and the belt loop can take a 4 cm (1.6”) belt.
Use
We aren’t sure whether you can connect these to your cell phone but we’re of course hopeful. If you have an old Swedish field phone, it is compatible with that at least and your steamy fantasies of course. If you can’t think of anything else, it is a brilliant stress-relieving toy at least. Just listen to the soothing sound when you dial and feel your soul heal. The leather case is so versatile that you can use it for almost anything!
Condition
Used and old as time itself but intact. The brass bits can be somewhat greenish, and the leather worn, scratched, and stained in the course of time. Other signs of wear can also be present but in such an old piece they are merely decorative. We cannot give you any guarantees that these work because we haven’t tested them, but at least they look cool.

One of them even had a report that confirmed it to be in working order as late as May 1996. :)
When reading the use section above, all I thought was challenge accepted.
