or did Dali create the phone .... from scratch?

LOL, do you think he wanted to get sued by AT&T? 'Cause in 1938, that's how you get sued by AT&T, since it was decades before the Carterfone decision.

('Course, it was decades before Hush-A-Phone too, for that matter, but I assume he got away with it because it was a one-off art piece.)

He made ten versions apparently, so not quite one-off; but art nonetheless
