I am looking for a telephone handset hook of a particular style. It may be one similar to the ones used with shipboard sound powered phones. It is cast metal open frame that holds the actual handset supports out from it with a cross bar at the top that the ear piece end rests in, but the mouthpiece end snaps in place and is held by a spring running parallel to the bar at the top. All supported by the cast frame that has a mounting plate to secure it to a wall or bulkhead. The spring is similar to a screen door spring, but heavier wire and tension, and when the phone is in place, the spring tension pulls down on the handset, keeping the receiver end locked in place. You extract the phone by pulling the mouthpiece end out, and then lift up. I remember a model number cast in the metal, and it was olive drab or dark green in color. Anybody familiar with that unit or have one they can part with?
