We miss good sound: One signal, by wire, w/ clarity & comprehension for all. No more in the age of cordless, wireless & Bluetooth digital whatnot: Expect to sound as if you're underwater in all your vital, just-couldn't-wait-till-you-got-home communications for the next few yrs.
And don't get us started on today's manners!
Anyway, a look at
one schmuck's collection of Bell System 'phones of the previous century.

On the left, a 1947 prototype pushbutton phone which recently sold on eBay for $17,999.99.
On the right, a clear plastic version of the 302 model. From this model on,
Western Electric manufactured limited editions of most of their models in clear plastic. |

When we bought our home in 1997, there were two phones just like the 302 model, hardwired into the wall.
Telephony Editor:
Hope you kept them for your retirement fund.
