When she was a teen, my granddaughter saw an old phone in my basement and couldn’t figure out how to use a dial phone...sure does make one feel real old. Then again, the phones out today are a mystery to me....some of them I couldn’t use if I had to get to 911.

Some may even remember that toggling the hook-switch on and off would signal the operator.

We have an old wooden one (as a decoration) on the wall ... great conversation piece ... it doesn’t have a dial though. Which also begs the question - why do people still say to dial a number when there are just buttons ....???
