I have an old wall/crank phone in my shop, and I have it hooked up to our phone line. When someone is in my shop when I get a call they look hard at the phone as the clapper really makes the bells ring loud. This phone is a Monarch...the best of the brands back then. Years ago I took out the old batteries (they were corroded) and put in a dial so I can call out if needed by using the old dial setup. With the dial inside the front door there is nothing on the outside surface to ruin the looks of the thing.
My father worked on rural phone lines in Iowa in the 1940s and 1950s. He said when the modern black dial phones came into use they hauled the old wall crank phones to the dump by the pickup load because everybody was glad to get rid of them. In those days you could not "own" a phone, it was the property of the phone company.
I have been offered over $400.00 for my phone; some day my son will get it. LA in WI

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
