Somewhere in my shop, I have a black phone like that, that was my great aunt and uncles phone that was in the basement of their house (that my grandfather built). I plan on installing it in the shop.

If you have VOIP for your phone service, you can't make calls out on a rotary phone at all. You can receive, but you can't call out.

My mom still has ma bell (or whatever the legacy land-line company is there). The phone is kitty wampus because some changes had to be made to keep it functional.

Nope, I never saw one of those. I did, however, register for selective service at 18. I'd be curious to hear how many of todays youth know about that.
Bring back our Drive-in movies!
they even had these things at "intermission" (of course no "lobby" per se) between "double features at drive-ins too
