Does anybody know of any LEGO phone booth designs?  I recall there being
at least one in the big LEGO book, but I was goingto solicit some other
ideas as well.  Specifically, I'm thinking of the non-enclosed versions
found at gas stations - the single supporting pole, the phone, and the
rudimentary wall panels on either side of the phone - but ideas for the
all-enlosed glass coffin types would be welcome as well.

Thanks in advance ...

There's a set (heavily juniorised car) that has a phone much like this...

It's not great, but it's a starting point.

It is a starting point but I think 4 wide is just a bit to wide.  I think it is
possible to do something similar 3 wide using a 1x2 tile with center stud
between the 2 thin walls.  I think that might be a more resonable scale.  I
think I might even try it and let you all know what I come up with.
