First one of these I've seen. Press 1 through 9 and get a different tone for each number. Press O and get the popup girl. Cute toy.

That and the Playskool Pay Phone.  As a child, I would apparently play for hours with these.  My mom says I would put a "coin" in the phone, dial a couple of numbers, giggle and talk, hang up, and do it all over again...

Must have been where I caught the "bug"...

A phone phanatic since I was less than 2 (thanks to Fisher Price); collector since a teenager; now able to afford to play!
Favorite Phone: Western Electric Trimline - it just feels right holding it up to my face!

I have had those before. 10-15 years ago you could still find 10 button princess toy phones at walmart.

You guys were lucky.  The phone I had to play with was a WE 500 manual phone with a 95A dial blank.  I had to pretend it had a dial!  It wasn't all bad.  When I grew up I did hook it up to a phone line and it worked!
