And mine for the whole time I lived at home from early 50’s to late 60’s was Temple 1 5503. I even have a memory of being in grade school and sharing a party line with neighbors!

But the most fun I ever remember having on those old phones was after the Beatles would appear on the Ed Sullivan Show, and I would call my two best friends and scream and shriek and generally act totally hysterical over Paul! (To the utter disgust of my father!)
