Frequently Asked Questions:

Are these reproduction or replica telephones ? NO! -- These original phones are already 30 to 50 years old and work great! A small, local phone company put these phones in storage in the 1980's as the touch-tone models replaced rotary phones in homes. We purchased them when the company needed to free up that storage space. They have the adjustable ringer that can wake the dead and the large magnets in the handset for a really clear sound.

Will these phones work outside the United States (UK, Canada, Germany, etc.)? YES! -- we have sold dozens of these phones outside the United States and you can look though our positive feedback to prove they worked well on arrival.
