Vintage Rotary Dial Telephones!

Most people over the age of forty are familiar with rotary dial telephones. I will bet however that it has been
many years since those people have heard the beautiful ringing sound made by the dual harmonic brass ringer bells.

This site is dedicated to the discussion, display, refurbishment and sale of those vintage rotary telephones.

Quite by accident I stumbled on a rotary telephone a few years ago while searching eBay for an old radio. Before long I was browsing through the list of rotary telephones being offered for sale. I bought one and the rest is history. I now own over one hundred. I have had many many phones pass through my hands. I have learned how to properly restore the phones and make them look and sound beautiful, putting telephones back into service all across the United States, Canada and other Countries of the world. I enjoy very much sharing my enthusiasm along with the enthusiasm of other collectors or someone just looking for one working vintage phone—like the one they had when they were young.

I welcome comments from everyone—those more experienced and those just wanting to ask a question about their Vintage Rotary Phone. Select the “Blog” tab at the top of this page to read my latest postings. There are photos, sound clips and links to other sites that provide a mountain of information about telephones from years gone by—true examples of Americana—instruments of progress that carried us through the industrial revolution. I am learning new things every day about different phones from our American past.

Thanks for stopping by Vintage Rotary Phones!
