Imagine the conversations that have gone on with that phone. Remember party lines?

I remember we didn't need an area code.

I still have a 502 maybe it is bakelite from the mid sixties. Or early sixties not sure. Really generic that I saved out of a motel. In the early 90's.

[@derekdoeschannel]

the 502 is the true classic version.

[@spitfireaace]

Love it but it's just going to gather dust along with the other things that gather dust at my place.

[@derekdoeschannel]

Outdated things do.

[@spitfireaace]

Pretty sure Eisenhower gave the orders to bomb Hiroshima from that phone Derek.
