Yes - EIIR was widely used, especially in the first couple of decades of her reign. Probably still a lot of them about, especially on buildings etc - I can think of quite a few "VR" ones even round here.
Another few pics of the one we have mounted on the wall at home, I restored it probably nearly thirty years ago and it worked fine until the NBN ;-)) couldn't be bothered to mod it to work with the NBN as standing in one place to talk on the phone wears pretty quickly.Attachment 150557Attachment 150558Attachment 150559Attachment 150560
