I might be in the minority since I don’t have a smart phone, but looking back just getting a portable phone for a land line was a big advantage but imagine the changes some people have seen in their lives. From today’s cell phones, which are mini computers, back to a phone like this, which was probably on a party line and each household had its own distinctive ring like a long and two shorts. Can you imagine today’s kids having to wait until someone else got off and anyone else on the party line could listen in? I doubt they would be on the phone very long!
This phone was manufactured by the Swedish-American Telephone Co., which was established 1899 and produced a wide range of telephone equipment and was popular in rural areas.
