That one in the picture is more of a basic version, you can tell because the blue phone logo is just a sticker. The nicer ones had porcelain phone logos on the side, that could be changed out for different colors. They had (Blue – Red – Green and Brown) But they could make you a custom color if requested. They’ve been around since the 80’s but you rarely see them anymore. The website is still up but they’re no longer in business. But very iconic looking, you can see them every so often in older movies and shows/music videos. I love them. 31-K Series Specifications Material: 3/16″ Polyethylene Material is flame resistant and resists most graffiti and surface abrasions.
