Nice site. I worked for what was the PMG 1964-1970. Part of the best time of my life. Used the old plug and cable board then the new automatic telephone exchange came in.

I have a card from years ago with name of Ronald Christianson. I saved it inside my oak wood wall mount Kellogg. I bought in the 1960s in Denver as a student at a second hand shop. 45 years later, it still needs a hand crank, receiver cap, and a mouthpiece. Ronald said parts were available but I never got around to it. Now that I'm about to retire, fixing up the old wall phone will be at the top of the to-do list.

My intent now is to get a working three coin wall mount payphone from the 1950s-1960s. Might you have one for sale? Or know where I might get one. Thanks.

I was a local and long distance Switchboard operator in Pendleton, Portland, and Salem, Or.in the 1940's and 50's. Could never bring myself to get rid of my old home phones, so now have a small collection. Just purchased an old Hotel phone shaped like a big brass elephant standing on a big brass ball. I've spent hours looking on antique telephone websites looking for another one like it with no luck. I wonder if anyone has one like it?

I have always been interested in telephones, since I was a kid. In the
1960's thru early 1980's the sounds they made to process your call was intertaining. Telephones in the present
2010 are kind of bland no character like the 60's thru the 80's.
Keep up the good work.
