Limited Olympic VIP Issue: Unlike standard consumer phones sold at retail in 1996, these commemorative Atlanta \'96 units were distributed through corporate sponsorship channels directly to Olympic VIPs and officials.
UNUSED \"Deadstock\" CONDITION: Finding 30-year-old cellular phones in unused, mint condition with no key wear, scratches, or battery corrosion is extremely difficult.CROSS COLLECTOR APPEAL: Highly sought after by two distinct collector communities: 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games memorabilia collectors and vintage 1990s tech/mobile phone historians.(This phone was given to me by a corporate executive in 2000. She claimed the phone was never used. I never used it. It\'s been in storage for 25+ years. There appears to have dust/dirt that I can\'t remove. Maybe it\'s just age. PLEASE look at the photos closely. Message me with any questions.)
