Who remembers Ebony wall phones with Sunflower dials in the kitchen as a child ?

My ex-mother-in-law had a WE yellow rotary phone wall mount telephone A/B 554 in the kitchen until 1990 when I convinced her that she doesn't need to keep renting the phone from the telephone company. GTE (Great Telephone Experiment)

My grandparents had phones you could use the handsets as weapons, wow they were heavy and rock solid.

Yes the handsets where weapons to be sure . I dropped one on my bare foot when I was a kid , it hurt like the willybegeezit . Professor was she being charged extra for a yellow wall phone ? My parents rented their wall phone until the late 1980's . They must of paid for that phone 100 times over . It was installed in 1957 - lol

Yep rented the same phone since 1959...later was the rental of the princess phone w/lighted dial and I think it was pink with and external bell mounted floor level outside the bedroom. There was a green 500 set for the living room. All these were being rented.

Black on the wall in the dining room TW1nbrook 3123 until 1982 when I got in the business and convinced them they could own their own phone. The ITT phone I installed was "inferior" and they were teed off for a month.
