Remember Your First Home Phone Number?
I'm 71
We moved into the house that Dad and Gramps had built, when I was 6 years old, in 1954. At that time and for several years after, we had a hand crank "farm" wall phone, with about 20 customers on the "party line." Our "ring" was 4 short rings, and the number was 19F4, which meant that we were the 19th customer of the "F" farm line, and our ring was "fast 4"
On a side note, the house is only 2 miles from 1st Ave "downtown."
Pretty much like this one
Inside is a hand crank magneto --I had a couple of them, they will shock you--and a couple of th ebig old huge dry cells
