I love the vintage, too. My favorite was, of course, the princess phone back in the 60s. It was the first phone I had. Even though we still had “party” lines back then, I loved my little phone in my bedroom. I can’t begin to count the hours I spent on the phone as a teen! 😀
oh how sweet that the process phone was your first. and party lines must have something to use! I do remember “limited” phones where all the calls added up…
I love these old phones. Do any of them still work? My favorites are the Princess phones from the 1960s. These photos brought back memories of the old style phone booths with seats, lights and fans, including a door which you could close. There was something special about making a call from such a pay phone. You really got your money’s worth. These kinds of booths were usually in the lobbies of big office buildings.
Me, too, EmilyAnn! The phones in the first picture are actually small vintage metal replicas. They were for sale at a yard sale. They belonged to a retired phone company employee. They wanted more money than I could spend on that but I thought they were so neat! I remember my Dad’s hotel back in the 50s had two old wooden phone booths in the back of the lobby. It was always my habit to check the change tray! heehee! Sometimes I actually got lucky! 😀 The second picture is a working phone at the reception desk of an old restored hotel turned B&B that is in downtown Winter Garden.
heehee! Just think of these as reproductions so that means they’re not old! HA! Besides, I think the only ones I didn’t use are the candlestick and the cradle ones! But then I think they’re from the 30s maybe?! 🙂
Love this. The photo would not have been nearly as interesting if it had been in color. I am fascinated by old telephones, and we actually have one. Hugs, Janet

Isn’t that the truth, Sue. I really like some of the old antique/vintage phones. 😀
Love the vintage – and we used to have one like the lower one (a remake in the 1980’s 0 it was fun to use)

I love them dear Linda… But what would we do without our cherished cell phones nowadays?
Love and happy friday to you. Aquileana 😀
Sad but true, dear Aquileana! Hard to remember what it was like to not always be connected! Anyway, have a fabulous weekend! 😀
You know, I think the only type I didn’t use was that style where you hung up the earpiece on the arm… but I still feel old. lol
