Welcome to Telephone Archive. I built this site in 2006 and am working on it now again, twenty years later, to make it even better. Why? Because antique phones are cool, and telephone history is even cooler.
This new version of Telephone Archive incorporates information from a much wider variety of sources, including Wikipedia, YouTube, ecommerce sites, participating phone museums, public domain reference works, and more. Not to mention all the great information I've gotten over the years from individual collectors, many of whom are (or were) members of the excellent Telephone Collectors International. A big thanks to all of you:
