This is a working phone in my home
Vintage 1970 something

This was inspired by Linda's PaD http://www.pbase.com/image/28346311
And Jeanne's response
As well as Faye's PaD http://www.pbase.com/image/28351974

What so nice colors for a phone!! I bet only the good news can pass.
Guest 30-Apr-2004 13:14
Have never seen anything like this!

Far out!
Guest 28-Apr-2004 16:33
This is a cute phone! Great image!
Robin Reid28-Apr-2004 12:53
Yes, you 3 are really dialed in with your phone photos. What a wierd design this one has. And how lucky you will be when the power goes out and this is the one that will work! Nice shot!
jude28-Apr-2004 01:19
I've never seen anything like this! Very nice colors too
penny roots27-Apr-2004 19:24
Wow , i've never seen one like this before , i had forgotten how annoying rotary phones were , waiting for ever for the dial to return before you can put the next number in ,i would rather have buttons to push any day .
Guest 27-Apr-2004 16:22
Should have known you'd do one of these! Does it still work?? I just got rid of the last rottary phone at my place a couple of days back... (a Garfield one) NICE!
Jill27-Apr-2004 12:16
Very retro. And I had never seen one of these in the 70's...but we wont even go there! ;)
Fun image.
Guest 27-Apr-2004 12:05
Oh wow - never thought I'd see a rotary dial phone again (funnily don't miss them as 'keying in option 1' or whatever doesn't seem quite the same!) Nice shot of the phone too!

Looks like a child's toy.
Larry Ahern27-Apr-2004 12:00
For long distance calls only I take it!
Faye White27-Apr-2004 10:39
hehehe - that's so cool!!!!
Karen Stuebing27-Apr-2004 09:14
That is so cool. It's a work of art. Ok, 70's type art but still art.
Adalberto Tiburzi27-Apr-2004 06:49
Seems marvellous, to my eyes.
Guest 27-Apr-2004 05:02
I can´t stop laughing looking at this silly phone!
Never seen one so ugly. Fun to see!
Guest 27-Apr-2004 04:56
How wonderful that it still works... (I think) ;)
Cindy27-Apr-2004 02:43
Neato, I am a 70's child myself, and I honestly do not remember ever seeing this phone.
Guest 27-Apr-2004 02:23
I remember that phone! (Wasn't that featured on "That 70's Show?") I'll bet it matches the string art on your wall! ;)
Guest 27-Apr-2004 02:04
Oh, dear a rotary phone with a cord.....and kitch value to boot! Did John Waters ever see this phone?
Guest 27-Apr-2004 01:59
Cool phone..! my grandmother never purchased a push button phone... She always had the rotary, but it wasn't an airplane!
Guest 27-Apr-2004 01:48
Amazing what folks have laying about the house....
Karen Leaf27-Apr-2004 01:43
All the phone threads you mentioned are funny but this is a wild looking telephone!
Guest 27-Apr-2004 01:40
cool fone!
Guest 27-Apr-2004 01:39
OMG!!!! My dad has the identical one!!! Crazy world! Neat shot!
DeMorcan27-Apr-2004 01:35
Much more interesting that the screen shot. :)
Guest 27-Apr-2004 01:30

John Buffin27-Apr-2004 01:26
