SOURCE: Purchased ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE CO. BELL SYSTEM AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH CO. (AT&T) ADVERTISING BOOKMARK Ooh, I do like vintage advertising bookmarks! Could not resist this one when I saw it on eBay! The seller mentioned that he had found the bookmark in an old book at a library sale. Lucky him! Lucky me! The seller also pointed out that the age of the bookmark can be narrowed to the period 1927-1937 as the telephone depicted on it, which is either a Bell 102 series (round base) or 202 series (oval base), were produced in that era, according to oldphonestore.com If it is a round base telephone, a Bell 102 series, which it looks far more like to me, these telephones ceased production in 1930, thus making the bookmark c. 1927-1930. The words on the bookmark are rather paradoxical I feel! |
