1. Phone Type and Design • Push-Button Desk Telephone: This model represents the classic transition period from rotary dial phones to push-button phones in the 1970s and 1980s. • Color: Features a beige or ivory color, the most common color for desk and home phones during that period, which sometimes tended to yellow with age due to the type of plastic used. • Dual-Use Design: This model (like famous phones made by companies such as Western Electric or similar models globally and locally at that time) can be placed on a table or hung directly on the wall thanks to the design of the handset base and its fixed holder. 2. Components Visible in the Photos • Keypad: Contains numbers from 0 to 9, plus the star (*) and hash (#) symbols, integrated into a prominent square panel with a classic geometric design. • Number Card Pocket: Below the numbers, there is a small rectangle designated for placing a small paper with the home or office phone number written on it (a famous feature of old phones). • Handset and Coiled Cord: A traditional handset, heavy compared to modern phones, connected to the phone base via a flexible coiled cord in the same color as the device. 3. Historical and Heritage Value • This type of phone is considered today a highly sought-after heritage and decorative piece (Vintage / Retro) for collectors of old items and classic antiques to add an antique touch to homes and cafes. Clarification: The landline phone piece that connects to the telephone for heat is not present.
