Do you like to do things differently or not in the realm of what most people consider normal? This is not to imply that you are weird or challenged in any way, it is simply that you have your own style. Why have standard cordless phones when you could have a unique telephone? Does your decorative style lend itself to a vintage payphone, one that was used back in the thirties or forties? What would your friends say when they ask to use the phone and find out that they need a nickel? Today it is possible to have functioning antique phones color coordinated to fit into your décor. There is a wide variety of styles and era's to choose from and if you like you can even choose from which telephone company your phone is from. Most of all phones that are sold as functioning, not replica's can be adapted to work inside of your home. There are some that will need ringers installed, but for the most part they will work. If you like the ideal of a antique pay phone, why not think about a antique phone booth over by the pool? There are vintage booths in classic British and American styles. Remember the phone booth at the dinner when you were growing up, or the phone booth in the opening scene of Miami Vice, you could have either of those in your own home. Items such as this show your caricature better than anything else could. They show you to be funny (or at least that you understand funny), they show you to be different, your own person and they show that the little things matter to you. Items like antique pay phones aren't for status they are for your own personal enjoyment. Another fun phone is the antique candlestick phone. Remember the old movies where they would pick up the phone in one hand and talk into the base of the phone? This is a trip back into history many ways. First all of these phones were rotary, they did not have buttons and they were the first phone that was mass produced that did not require winding up. These phones got their power through the phone lines just like they do today. Candlestick phones are a good way to break up the stress of your busy day. Install one on your desk at work and it will relax you every time it rings (This of course depends on your job). That being said, it will look cool on your desk at work as well as your desk at home. We have talked about them a little, but antique rotary phones are another conversation starter. There are hundreds of styles of these to choose from. These phones were in every household for over fifty years. All of the major phone companies manufactured every different look of phone that you can imagine. The phone companies were constantly trying to find new ways for you to buy a phone due to the fact that this type of telephone is almost indestructible. Chrome to exotic woods was used to make these phones. With the variety of these phones you could decorate the room around your phone and every room would be different. Wood phones from the twenties or chrome phones from the seventies are available. While the majority of the phones are reasonable in price, you must remember that the rarer the phone the more it will cost. While we have been talking about phones for your house or workplace, it could be noted that collecting antique phones is a growing hobby. Look online and find your favorite web-store and start a new hobby, spruce up your den or just dress up your desk with something that says the little things matter. One thing that will never change however is the enjoyment that you will get while dropping a nickel in your own antique pay phone, complete with a vintage telephone booth. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: John Barclay For innovative decorating ideas and gifts, please visit us at http://www.BarclayStreetShops.com , where we are always adding the unusual! --- END ARTICLE --- Get HTML or TEXT Copy-and-Paste Versions Of This Article at: http://thePhantomWriters.com/free_content/db/b/payphones.shtml#get_code .....................................
