Are you old enough to remember these ... ?

@ajoite 😮

I would have thought a bag would be more appropriate!

@Nimbus well that's rude, some of us... I mean some people I knew clipped them on
" their " belts and pretty damn sexy and cool they looked too

@ajoite Will research :)

@rckt148 Interesting.

@Nimbus reversing the charges to your home number was not wise but you could ,
a call to tell my kids I was diverted around an accident and would be an hour longer getting home cost me $15.00
now granted that is not a lot of money ,but less then a minute call
I used it to see if it would work ,
I also used one to call 911 when I was in an accident ,the 911 operator transfered me to the local Police so that call was free
they were still good to have around even after they were outdated

@shuhak We had one of those that had been stored up in our attic on the farm, we didn't even have a phone on the farm then and by the time we got one it was a shiny black wall phone and the old phone was never used.

@shuhak Victorian?

@Nimbus I don't know. This was.., or should I say is .. a backwards hick town. it used to take a long time for modern things to get up here. Heck, it took until the 1980's before they replaced the covered bridge (circa 1862) with a concrete one.

@TheConstantGardener it does, doesn't it.

@summersong lol,

@Mondayschild Yes.
Cute uh? :)

@Nimbus yes if you have a duffle bag to carry it in😲

@Mondayschild 😆

@SW-User Good point.

@katielass Me too.
So much character :)

@Nimbus yeah, did you guys have only a phone in the middle of the house so everyone could hear our conversation? they were hard wired back then, there was no moving it from room to room.

@katielass lol, we were that poor we used the neighbours one!

@clamenza Most at a guess!
