Touch-a-matic
My friend Jeff got one in green back in the early 80's. He took it with him when he moved to S.F. CA in '85. I used it a couple times when I was there to visit. The buttons were too small, and made it easy to hit the wrong one. The handset was also strange to hold. This wasn't one of Western Electric's best ideas.
My cousins in Texas also had a Touch-a-matic phone, but theirs was much larger. That one had hold, plus 5 line buttons for the 1A2 key system. It was much easier to use.
