Very cool that it works. We have an old candlestick phone, and I'd love to get it worked on so it might be able to work again, but not sure if it's possible or not.

I would go to my aunt's house and my cousins ( teen agers and older than me) would talk for hours and I secretly watched them and thought they were so grown up and so lucky. When we finally got one, it was the party line and our neighbor talked for hours and we finally had to say"Lucille, we really need to use the phone". I remember our number was 14W5 and we had to talk to the operator to get the numbers..Great memories, thanks~!..Happy Thursday..Judy Judy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262856102619977361.post-28454079580675089442012-10-03T21:23:12.185-05:002012-10-03T21:23:12.185-05:00I think it's wonderful you still have one! in ...I think it's wonderful you still have one! in this day an d age it's a good idea to have an old phone hanging around in case the cell service goes out....<br />RuthAntiques And Teacupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353180034537009493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262856102619977361.post-17442557109605378212012-10-03T19:10:40.334-05:002012-10-03T19:10:40.334-05:00What an awesome phone!

At least they work when the electricity goes out, which happens quite often. They are loud indeed, sounds like a firehouse when the phone rings. :0)<br />My hubby talks of his childhood and speaks of the "Party line".

Agree, looks great...but not very comfortable for using...which I have had to do on occasion. We are so spoiled with our cordless phone these days aren't we??

And the photos...wow, how nice to have!! We got the desk version this summer for the kitchen, and that's all my kids will use. They fight over who will answer it. Funny thing is the girls both have cell phones, but they all love the rotary phone. Mine has a long enough cord so I can use it in the kitchen. My mom had a gold wall phone and I swear the cord was a mile long...she could go all over the house, lol. The power goes out a lot here, so it's really practical for us, plus it makes me feel like Lucy. Love this post Carlene:-) Anita Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745164844001794566noreply@blogger.com
