Just found out about the Siemens S62! Not only is it a very cute and silly phone with its little round ears like a hamster but it's also very common in customizing circles, and in Italy!

It also had a push button version (unsurprising, this same method was used on the 791 and 611) and a wall version. The wall version looks even sillier and cuter ♥

☎️✨Welcome!✨☎️

I love old telephones and I love identifying them so instead of doing it randomly on my main blog I decided to dedicate a whole sideblog for it.

Submissions and tags are welcome I need enrichment in my enclosure.

I own a phone collection of my own one I am very proud of and I hope to be able to restore and modify some of them eventually.

I am both a fan of DSaF and Dialtown. In fact the later was the cataclysm for this special interest.

My main blog is @the-acid-pear

Okay first and foremost SUCH a cutie absolutely love it. I love wide and round telephones like this. Always so silly.

That aside, I'll admit I can't identify this to save my life. But! BUT ☝️ before I'm egged for failing at my sole gimmick I'll defend myself saying this is not a classic rotary but a retro simil one.

The closest I managed to get where these two:

Astral Belgravia Telephone & Microtel 96410

Both are fake rotaries, have golden details, the same rotary dial style (very distinctive; gpo makes similar telephones yet is plain), same stand, and both are waterdrop shaped, thin at the top thick at the bottom. But Microtel is WAY too thin, and Astral is So close but it's not wide enough!

Saw this one today :)

i need to clean them still,, but do you know these guys? I think red is Western Electric, but that’s all i can guess.

Left and middle ones despite being retro simils are clearly inspired on a Western Electric type 302 (my phoneband [phone husband]) and a Western Electric Princess phone respectively. The right one is a Western Electric too indeed, a type 500 :]]

This is my Canadian-made Northern Electric phone. Back in the early 00s this was connected to the landline in the house I shared with some friends. We kept it in the far end of the house with a pillow over it because the ringer was so loud it scared the bejeesus out of us every time it rang.

Western Electric Type 500!!
