Cyber Telephone Museum
For screenshotthose of us who like to think we qualify as old-school just because we remember a time when we couldn't simultaneously make a phone call and drive a car, witness this pictorial exhibit of rare antique telephones, circa 1876 - 1915. And take note: The micro-chipped little device you carry around with you today may be able to take pictures and send email, but it can hardly match the elegance and style of the 1902 Kellogg Corner Vanity, the 1900 Couch and Seeley Upright Desk Set, or the 1876 Liquid Transmitter. It was over this apparatus that an acid-splashed Alexander Graham Bell uttered the famous words of his seminal 911 call: "Mr. Watson, come here; I want you."
