I own an advertising specialty company - now in our 45th year I am happy to report - and worked in the industry for many years prior to establishing my own firm.   For many years my best client was what was formerly known as "The Bell System".   Of course after divestiture, it was broken up into what was generally called the "Baby Bells" - and later morphed into many variations. So over the years we worked very closely with Western Electric, AT&T, Southern Bell, BellSouth, Lucent Technologies, OFS, Avaya, etc.   I collected many over-run samples, one-or-a-kind spec samples, and the likes. I am now selling much of that collection via eBay.  Here is a beautiful solid brass letter opener I sold AT&T International in the early 1990's. The length is 7.375", and in very high polish solid brass.   The copy was laser engraved for lasting durability.   In addition to the AT&T "Globe" logo, it contains the tag line..."AT&T INTERNATIONAL 800 SERVICE". This was quality manufactured in the U.S.A.   I do not recall the supplier, but the makers mark of "F" is also stamped onto the back. It is still gift packaged in the original two piece gift box with padded bottom. Although this over run salesman sample is probably approximately 30 years old, it is absolutely in as new condition!   It has been kept in a sealed container in one of our climate controlled sample rooms.  An excellent addition to anyone who worked at AT&T or collects old Bell System memorabilia.    A very rare find for sure, especially unused. From a smoke-free, pet-free climate controlled environment. Only $23.00 !!!    Plus, you will also receive several free telecommunications advertising samples AND a hand-drawn in ink personalized "Thank You" cartoon note! I have many telephone related items listed and will be listing more - along with other old advertising pieces.
