About ten years ago, I bought a completely restored 1920s telephone that works in a modern telephone jack. It's a cute little guy, the black finish is redone and the cloth cord looks great. It does work with a modern jack but I didn't love the jarring ring so it sat on my table looking precious for many years.
I'd love to trade this for a vintage quilt (or a new quilt). If you are interested, let me know and I'll get you some photos of the telephone. I paid $500 for the phone back then (gulp - what can I say, younger and crazy for the 1920s).
Thanks!

If anyone is interested in the telephone but doesn't have a quilt, let's chat about what else we might trade.
Thanks!!

Sure thing! Here's a couple photos.

The black box is what houses the ringer and also has the grey phone cord that inserts into a modern phone jack. The brown cloth cord connects to the box and to the phone so you can hear the caller. It is a rotary dial. Here's a photo of just the phone:

It's a bit dusty.  But other than that, it should be in fine shape.

Very cute, Kimberly. I've got an old quilt or two(hand sewn) in my booth at an antique mall that I can take pics of tomorrow and you can look to see if you like one of them.
