Questions About Antique Telephones
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Yes, some rotary phones are valuable. Collectors often seek pieces in colors other than black, brown, white and beige, so phones that are blue, green, yellow, red, pink or purple may be worth more. The maker, age and condition will also impact the value. Rotary dial phones were brought to market in America in around 1919 or so and became widely used during the 1950s. If you want to know how much a particular piece may sell for, a licensed certified appraiser can assist you. On 1stDibs, find a selection of rotary phones.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023In the 1930s, phones typically looked like rotary telephones. They had either a round or square base with a numbered dial that spun when you dialed and a handset receiver with both an earpiece and a mouthpiece. A cord connected the handset to the base. Find a variety of rotary phones on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023What old-style telephones are called depends on the style. Ones with a handheld main component and an earpiece that you place against your ear while talking are candlestick telephones. Phones with a receiver that you both talk and listen in and have a numbered dial for dialing are rotary phones. On 1stDibs, shop a range of telephones.
