I wonder if those old Cowboys enclosures would be considered valuable collectibles. I’ve seen eBay listings of payphones with NFL logos on them but don’t remember ever seeing a BN800 as you describe. Makes perfect sense, though, given its shape.

I currently work for Benner-Nawman in digital arts and business development. While the BN business today is a supplier of tools and newer kinds of electrical and media cabinetry and enclosures – it’s great to see memorable gems like the BN800 Vanguard. I recently learned that the Dallas Cowboys installed the BN800 at the old Texas Stadium – painted as Cowboy football helmets (tempting to repaint midnight green for our Philly Eagles, but not the point). One day we would love to see if any of those were preserved from the stadium; sadly – I have yet to locate a picture of one of those.
