This type of desk set is called a "potbelly" due to the bulge in the center
section of the shaft. The Chicago potbelly has a bakelite sleeve over the
potbelly section so the user can get a better grip on the telephone.
This set was found in a boarded up drug store in the town of "Happy Camp"
located near the Klamath River in Northern California. It is now part of
the Christianson Telephone Collection.
