The red phone is an AT&T (Western Electric) Model 2500. They were available
in beige, blue, and red. Most residential and commercial models were ordered
in beige. Red phones, especially in Federal agencies, were usually reserved
to indicate an important function such as security or medical services.
The Model 2500 is well known for it's reliability and easy maintenance.
