All about vintage telephones up to 1989. Advertisements, humor, history, collections, equipment, restoration/repair, technical questions, resources or just plain memories, it's all here. While emphasis is placed on American telephones, vintage telephones from around the world are also most welcomed.

If I remember correctly, the Com-Key phones were the first Western Electric models to use a musical tone ringer. They were introduced mid 1970s.
