    I can remember when I first saw a coloured phone with a "curly cord."


    It was on a jazz album I bought in 1958

    If you ordered a phone from the GPO back then, it would be black and no "curly cord."

    The telephones in the 40’s early 50’s were just black and plain old ugly. Thank goodness for color.
    Vintage color telephones came out in the1950’s …. Oh boy now I feel ancient.. well I actually am .:rolleyes:
    From dial to push buttons. My first cellular phone was as heavy as a brick & as big as one . EARLY 90’S.

    Ann Margaret was a big star in the 60’s - 80’s. Sound track from one of her first movies.
