There's a collector in San Jose, CA who collects and repairs these old phones. It's not too hard to fix since, at the time, they were basically just a wire, a bell, and the handset. They did weigh a ton though!

Still have my grandmothers old phone from the 40's / 50's. We had a lot of conversations on that phone. Sometimes I pick up the receiver and pretend to talk to her. The # is still on it. ❤️ RIP Mimi

I keep my Gram's old letters and open them up couple times a year. To pretend she just sent them to me.

My Grandma had a red phone that she had my whole life.When she stopped using it, I always wanted it. To my surprise, I found it in an old shed in her backyard while looking for jars. It was in a box full of junk. I brought it home, cleaned it up and it works perfectly! Yes, we had many conversations on that old phone. I love it!

The phones that a by-stander couldn't hear your conversation and when you talked, your caller could understand what you were saying.

I felt weird talking into our new small phones. I didn’t think anyone could hear me. The clam shell phones were even smaller. I just use the speaker phone. I love the old phones because I’m nostalgic.

I wonder if it was common for women to have pocket squares back then. It seems like kind of a professional look.

Had a phone like this in our patio room, but w/o the extra piece on the mouthpiece. Still pretty heavy. Could use a lethal weapon if needed! ;)

Hi Judy, the photo is of my mother Fay and the phones were made of "Bakelite" a registered synthetic resin and plastic material-many old radio's were also made of this.
