@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.
@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.
