This is a countertop IIT Kellogg payphone c. 1950. Payphones such as these were placed on the countertops of retail stores, and would allow customers to insert coins and make phone calls. It was intentionally made very heavy to prevent customers from pulling it off the counter.
This phone was installed on the counter of O'Brien's Drug Store on Park Avenue in Winter Park in the early 1950's
