THE VINTAGE TELEPHONE, PRINCESS OR OTHERWISE

UPDATED---A few years ago, we were helping a friend clean out her late mother's apartment when we came across a 1960's aqua Princess telephone carefully preserved on a back shelf. 

The friend didn't remember it at all...just the heavy black telephone that could have dispatched an intruder with one well-placed smack across the chops.  That model served her family for years before being replaced with the latest in technology--a 1970's mock crocodile wall mount in the kitchen----a reminder of the days when telephones were considered important decor.....

All that brought back this old article from THE EXAMINER NEWS by Home Guru Bill Primavera...Times sure have changed. Click here.
