What year do you think it's from?
P.S. maybe you need to clean out your desk a little more often.

^ That's right... I was a kid and barely remember. Though parents kept a rotary-dial phone as a spare for a long time!

Remember Belvidere commercials and the jingle song!

Love it. The location, I see, is now just a parking lot between Baltimore and Milwaukee.

I am guessing early 1960s, but don't know for sure. I don't recall when phone numbers when to all digits. I found it in a box that I had brought back when I sold my parents' house.

Who could have guessed that the location is now a parking lot?...

**Meddle** · April-25-25, 07:32 PM

They paved Fish's shop and put up a parking lot.

This was from well before the 60's. That's a notch lapel. "Trends in lapel size often mirror the economic climate: during World War II, lapels initially became smaller due to fabric shortages, setting a trend that continued through the 1950s and 1960s." -Husbands

This is more likely from the 1930's like something Clark Gable wore with the fluffy handkerchief in pocket.

Those fly zippers were super long, and suit sales were by invitation only to gigolos studding for peace, love, and the American way. Yes, I still have mine.
