But of course! My mother still has a rotary phone at her house, although not quite as charming as yours. Terrific memories of home captured here, David! #10893054

Looks like '60s to me, tho the phone looks older. Remember numbers starting with "Lowell" or "Murryhill" etc.?

The first phone I remember had a party line and you cranked it to "dial" the number, so when the rotary dial phone came along I thought it was absolutely the bees knees! ;-D Cool capture, David! #10893389

MELODIE C. ROBERTS November 07, 2013

TV trays are the greatest!
Party lines were a pain...We shared one with a little old nosey woman named "Aunt" Alice.....

Thanks for the memories Dave! #10893398
