But they ain't real WE 2500s- they are a pale knockoff. They may have licensed the design from Mother, but they weigh half as much.

The only thing they share is the basic shape.

The phones are very well made and no, they're not heavy enough to kill someone if you hit them over the head with one but they're quite stout and durable. The old AT&T and ITT phones were heavy because of the mechanical pushbutton switch matrix and large network components that were potted in a metal canister. The ringer was also a heavy cast assembly and all that stuff was mounted to a relatively thick sheet metal chassis. Many of the new phones can be had with an actual mechanical ringer with a real metal bell. Integrated circuits have made the touch tone keypad and network so much smaller and lighter though. Ain't progress wonderful?

Alliance Tires are made in Israel.

They are less sensitive to road hazards. They're circumcised.

Many years ago I had a set of Firestone tires that were made in Israel, the damn car wouldn't roll on Saturdays for some odd reason.
