Stories from WW2

[cinderella]

John, I've been looking for this phone for years!! I am going to look into getting a landline (a requirement for this phone), so I can buy a fully restored and functioning phone. And I want the original ringing mechanism too, DAMMIT!!! No, beeps, buzzes, or virating sounds - I want that loud ringing again - the way it should be!!!

Geezes, I was born late; I hate technology today. Jus' sayin'....



America had phones just like this.
The irony of all this is that post WWII kicked off a new technological age. *shakes head*
