There is a fair chance a Western Electric table was made here in 
Syracuse by O.M. Edwards Co. They produced a large number of wooden 
telephone booths for Ma Bell, and then aluminum ones.  They donated one 
or two to our local public TV station for their annual 
auction/begathon.  That was not the only time one could obtain a booth 
for personal use, they were expensive but more than a few of the flush 
mounted "in the wall" versions were bought quietly "out the back door" 
and installed in homes here.
