I came here to say just that! I grew up with that exact phone in Venezuela in the 80's!

  My grandmother (92) still uses an identical rotary phone here in Italy, in late 2020. It works, she’s comfortable with it. To be pedantic, however, it isn’t made of Bakelite... it’s not that brittle. It’s some other kind of (archaic, by now) plastic with plenty of bromide fire inhibitors because it’s turning darker by the month. I’m told it was originally an off-white; now it’s a very rich beige.

  Same here (Brazil, 70's). We had one just like it, same colors, made by Ericsson.
