It gets my vote for the nice phone awards. I've got the next style (Touchtone) and several others. The "Talking" ones didn't come out til a little later. The 75th Anniversary does, it has three different sayings as it rings. Enough of my babble, Love the telephone, thanks for sharing.
Thanks AR8Jason for comment, lets see your Mickey Phones!
Thanks kerry10456 for your vote n love this! My friends store also had the touchtone one but I like the older dial one; I grew up with the dial phones.
Thanks Manikin, ttomtucker and officialfuel, glad you love this!
Here the touch tone, I remember the switch over, lol. Still have rotary dial phone in the garage.
