"Your" telephone? Wasn't this back when Bell owned the phones and you rented it from them? My dad got a nice red hotline phone as an RCA plant was closing. It says "property of Bell System" on it. Ha haaaa! :P
my dad collects them and does them up and sells them on ebay they are allover the house check out my channel in a day or so im making a video about my dads addiction.
I absolutely love the look on the guy's face @ 8:53 when "Tommy" does the Indian rope trip w/ the line cord. Hilarious!!!! Incidentally, I own one of those 302 phones; & of course, it still works perfectly!
Great video! Thanks for posting this! The handset is the only thing made of bakelite. The early (1937-1941) models had cast metal housings and the later ones (1941-up) were made of thermoplastic.
Very entertaining!

Does someone know the name of the composer of the music that starts at 4.22?
Do you know at least the name of this piece? Thank you very much.

Great to see how these differ from the British Bakelite telephones of the same vintage.

the only part of that phone thats bakelite is the handset, the rest is metal if it's an earlier one or plastic if it's a later one.
