Hope you are all well and happy.

Here's a super little mini-meshed phone.. realistic? .. not 'arf..!

All the best, Gerald.

..and it's free too!

Fine piece of work.  Telephones are surprisingly hard to

model, for such an apparently simple shape.

I tried once and just couldn't make it look right.

Making this started driving me nuts! Both the handset and the base required numerous restarts... they either looked too blocky or too soft/rounded.
Gerald. :unsure:

..join the club..;) I tried modeling one like this (actually a 40's version)..didn't come off that well..great work Mr. Day..;)

Dring.. Dring...Hi... Just say thnks for all your free meshes...Salut! ....Dring

Wow, things like that are still common in various underpaid places (offices and such). My grandma used to have very similar one, but a bit more yellowish. Thanks for sharing this greatly done stuff :)

We had one of these when I was a teen. Talk about flashbacks...LOL! My son still can't believe that we once had to dail to ring someone. As a matter of fact I have one of these old phones lying around the house I forgot how heavy they were.

Cheers,

Oddly enough, the original 'self-dialing phone', invented in 1895, had

buttons!   A single vertical row, not the modern 3 x 4 rectangle.

The rotary thingie was (I'd guess)  Bell's way of avoiding royalties

on the original patent.  Nothing else could explain its long reign,

since the rotary motion is unnatural and difficult for most people.

blink? Bell had the original patent (on the phone anyways..;)
Silly fact- in America, the long-distance prefixes were based on their ease of dial, which is why NY had 202, (or 212, I don't remember), and NC had 919..;)

Thanks, Gerald! We had one like that at home until fairly recently. I realised how old fashioned it was when one of my daughter's friends asked if she could use our phone to call her mother. She looked confused and said "how do you work this?" She'd never seen a dial before...
