What Color Was The Trimline Phone In Your Kitchen?

This makes think about people taking the phone in another room and shutting the door on the cord.

We did that frequently! I grew up in an 1883 Italianate house (the floor plan is astonishingly like the set of the Bates house in Psycho) and the phone could reach from the back porch, down the central hall to every room adjacent and almost the front door. We had other, old Bakelite and Trimline phones in the family room and my parent's room.

Boring beige. Would still be there if a hurricane hadn't placed a "to go" order for the family kitchen a few years back. The replacement looks like a bionic candy bar!

Now I'm hunting a working candlestick phone. Gotta draw the line somewhere! Did the Battlestar Galactica remake teach these kids nothing?

Ours was yellow. Still have a landline. It was something my mother wanted. Even though she's gone,I can't bring myself to getting rid of it.

I think you should keep it because MOMS RULE!!

Also, do you ever get non-telemarketer calls on it?

We had the avocado green till 81 and the new house then it was yellow for a bit till the cordless phones popped up every where
