Reach out and touch someone. These models were among the first desktop phones available in the 1940’s and 1950’s. You could get one in any color as long as it was black. As technology improved, the phones became lighter and more colorful. The phone on the left weighs five pounds and the phone on the right weighs four pounds. These belong to the San Benito Historical Society.
