Yup, my uncle on the farm had the old party line too. Sad, because I remember as kid seeing that phone on the woodpile after he upgraded to a modern unit. Boo.
Wow. The best! When I was a kid in south-central Wisconsin, this was our first phone. Had a party line where 3 or 4 of your closest neighbors could listen in if they liked... hah!! So very cool for an amp!! -Glenn
Y.....and you could carve or lathe a receiver just for kicks....I think this is a very cool back in the day looking build...real nice....ou may find inside the old dial phone the same bell

It's too bad I'm missing one bell (and the receiver). I will keep my eye out for more of these phones. They are a perfect size for CB Gitty kits.
