    A very rare find indeed.

    I'd have called someone just to see of it still works.

    Surprised it didn't have a credit/debit reader.

    I wonder what the price of a basic call is these days.

    I remember keeping quarters in a 35 mm film canister in my glovebox to pull over and find a phone booth when I got a page. Times are crazy now, and :rofl: :lol: Yes, Candid Camera :rofl: :lol:

    We may still uptown. My town has about 400 people, and 250 in winter. I've had a cell phone since sack phones. I'll look next time I go. Curious now

    Was it one of the metal ones with the screw on top?
    I remember those as a kid before they went to plastic.
    Too young at that time though to get into organic farming.
