My kids were amazed at this " new fangled " phone I found in a box of christmas decorations at the auction for 25 cents ... lol ... it was a bit dirty but nothing formula 409 couldn't handle . Josh says " Formula 409 because the world can't handle 410 YET ! " It stinks when you mess up and have to start all over again !!!
As Captain Chesapeake used to say " SO LOOOOOOOOOOONG Crew Memebers "

Ha... a rotary phone. We had one for YEARS and I mean YEARS at my parents place. I believe I graduated from college and they still had this phone. They had it because my father is hard of hearing and it was a very good phone that could be turned up and down amplifying the sound very clearly - unlike modern phones.
