Would?

A 1920s phone number work in 2017? Just a random thought.

I think it would depend if you could connect it to a modern land lane, which I think is possible.

@bettylesswear The new phones are digital, the phones from the 70's won't work so why would the ones from the 20's?

@cherokeepatti you could actually make it work if you're determined and not afraid of DIY electronics

@SW-User You'd have to convert it, it's not going to work as it was manufactured.

@cherokeepatti I don't think an adapter would be hard to make. It would be kind of fun to have a phone like that on the wall, operational.
