Who doesn’t have a memory of the classic rotary dial phone at Grandma & Grandpa’s house.  It was probably a vintage rotary dial phone, black in color, and may very well have been sitting in a little wall niche in the hallway at your grandparent’s home.

I think most of us can still hear that rotary dial phone ring if we think hard enough about it.  There’s something about a vintage telephone ring that seems to stick in your memory.  The brass bells ring loud and clear, and the sound of that old rotary phone is hard to forget.  In fact, some of today’s high tech smart phones even have ring tones to download that sound almost identical to the old rotary phone ring of yesteryear.

Rotary Phones & Today’s Home Decor

Speaking of high tech, today’s smart home decorator often has a retro style home decor.  Classic rotary dial phones fit perfectly in with today’s mid century modern decor.  Old rotary phones were designed in many smart colors that now look great in 21st century homes:  avocado green, yellow, pink, red and turquoise blue, to name a few.

The old phones even came in a rotary dial wall phone version, a Princess rotary dial phone and a Trimline model.  None of these models were as popular as the original Western Electric rotary dial phone, but each one has their place today just as they have throughout history.

Rotary Dial Phones as Collectibles

And don’t forget that these old rotary phones are valuable today, too.  They are much sought after by collectors, and can be seen commanding high prices on eBay and other online auction sites.  However, you can still find good bargains there from time to time, but your best bet is to find an old phone at a flea market or garage salel
