Did real candlestick telephones have dails?

[Robert Gift]

Except for the tworking replica candlestick telephones we use, all I havever seen were dialess candlestick telephones.   
(Ours have rotary dials.  Not pushbutton rotary dials.)

"Real" candlestick telephones had rotary dials beginning in the early 1900's in areas that had the newest central office equipment capable of providing direct dialing.

Strowger was one of first to provide direct dialing.

If you're going to use the Andy Griffith Show as an example, then do you remember The Addams Family or The Munsters on TV in the 1960s? They both used candlestick phones with dials. Mayberry and Hooterville may have still been manual exchanges, but the Munsters and the Addamses were uptown.

Here's a fun bit of trivia. The person who played "Thing" in The Addams Family was Ted Cassidy, who also played Lurch the butler. Notice how big the hand is.

Automatic Electric introduced dials in 1910, (I think), but Western Electric didn't produce dial telephones until 1919, and in the first year, used Automatic Electric's dials, as they didn't yet have one of their own ready and working.  I don't think anybody made dial telephones before Automatic Electric did.

Interesting that the receiver hook is on the left, enabling dialing with right hand.
Our replicas are also left hook switches.
I thought non-dial candlestick telephones had the switchook on the right.

The hook was always on the left. The receiver would be held with the left hand to write notices with the right hand.
Microphone stands had the hook on the right side.
