  • @Alprazolam its jane barbe and shes dead.

  • The Seattles World Fair was in 1962.

  • so easy a girl can do it.

  • OMG I NEED ONE !1!!!

  • That lad is one hell of a square.

  • The logo at 0:01 is actually pretty modern.

  • oh.... I've always wondered what the pulse and tone lever was for in the old phone we have in our attic lol

  • Heck, my Mom told me when she grew up they had a PARTY LINE whereby other people in other houses could listen in.

  • another plus was that you only had to dial 7 digits.

  • 1963?? Damn, we didn't change 'till the mid-80s, and even then the push button phone we had relied on pulse dial.
