These are modern phones. Do you have a picture of the crank phones that hung on the wall so the neighbors could listen in? You would crank 1 turn for a short ring and 2 or more for a long ring.

Yes I certainly do remember them.. We were on a party line with a farm that had several hired men. We were all on the same line and every morning about 4:30 a.m. the farmer would ring that phone with great gusto to be sure they were awake for the morning milking. More than once we who didn't work for him greeted that ringing with less than complimentary remarks.

I remember them all very well. I also remember five digit phone numbers and having to dial "0" to call long distance.
