    Hah! Those horn phones were rare in antique stores when I was a child. :)

    I remember my parents telling me we didn’t own the phone (pictured) in their bedroom. Turns out it was rented from AT&T. Young me was shocked at the notion. “But it’s in our house!”

    At some point we upgraded to a push button version, of our own. Don’t think AT&T wanted the old one back. Got one out of the trash, sitting here now, wife wants me to toss it. “No! That and mom’s cursive typewriter stay!”
