Dial Telephone Manual​

Seeing this vintage dial telephone manual brings back memories of a simpler time, doesn’t it? Back when you could recognize who was calling by the sound of their voice instead of relying on caller ID. The familiar “click-click-click” as you turned the dial, waiting for it to spring back before dialing the next number, felt like a little game of patience. And phone numbers back then mixed words and digits, like "COLUMBUS 6-7790," adding a bit of personality to each call. Do you still remember your old phone number?

Of course it does bring back memories. The cords were really long and you could walk back and forth and get wrapped up in the cord if not careful. I do miss the simple life of talking on the phone and being surprised who was calling.
