Nostalgia (Contest Entry #2)
This is my second entry to the Nostalgia Contest by @daveks.
This is a genuine phone of a long gone era. The phone is located inside a famous doctor's beautiful home which has been now converted into a museum in Puerto Rico.

I remember my grandmother having a phone similar to this one. Now hush Ninja frog we are the same age!!!
How in the world?!!! I can assure you this phone model didn't exist anywhere near my home. Nor did it exist in any that I knew of. I mean there were similar looking but not this particular model. The usage of the particular thick cord made it impossible, the one's I saw that looked similar the cord is identical to the one's still being used today.
Got your attention didn't I? 😉😈
LOL
You're a dead Dawg! You're the one that's over 100 years old! 😝
To the doghouse!
No doubt! 😂
👍
In doggie years maybe 😉
This Dawg has an answer to everything! 😑😜
You already know 😊
Bad dawg!
LOL!
Now for me this was what I remember using for so long, now it is nostalgia and many of he kids today would not even recognize it, guess it shows I am getting old lOL
LOL! Great memories I'm sure! Yes, I'm sure this device looks like an item from Bedrock! It would fascinate me to hear what they'd think.
How cool is that?? Im sure one of my ancestors had one of those!
Maybe mine did too. Afterall, from my Mother's side they were of the high society. Now you have me curious were this particular family may have lived! If so, is the house still standing? I doubt it very much, but would love to find some archives or blueprint.
Don't be so quick to so no! I have a house that was built in 1869 and the neighbors house is earlier because it was her father's (he built it for her for a wedding present) Both of the houses were seized in the Civil War and one was used for a hospital and the other for a headquarters. History is so addictive! You can usually find out more in the town's archives or their National Historical Society! It is fun tracking all this info down. When I was growing up, my father acquired a suitcase full of historical documents, which he donated so it could be available for all. Keep hunting! (BTW... I have the blueprints to my house!)
Nice! Maybe, you should post pictures of your home (at least the outside). I used to know where to find that kind of info here, but they relocated and now I'm lost.
I'll do that! If you tell me what you are looking for, I know I can find it.
It would be fantastic if you were to find a picture! Now that would be a treasure!
PM me with the address, town and state (and name of the ancestor) approximate year and I should be able to find something. Either on FB messenger or here.
Plata family, towns: Ponce, Jayuya, Juana Diaz. My great grandfather was born in Spain died in Jayuya, his wife died in the same town.
