My parents had my grandmother’s rotary phone. The “number” was in the center of the dial and I still remember it:

“CLaiborne 1-7762”

The ‘1776’ bit seemed cool to me when I was young.

Can’t believe I still remember that.

Loved the sound old rotary phones made when you dialed them…especially the 9’s, 8’s, 7’s.
