Pay Phones

We offer three styles of payphones and accept checks with two week hold, money orders or PayPal.

Western Electric 1910-1920s Style Pay Phone

This is a beautiful and quite authentic reproduction of the earliest of the three slot design (see the pay phone below). To give it a more authentic and original look, we have added an original Western Electric receiver, transmitter, mouthpiece and dial. This is about as close to an original as you will find without paying the high price of an original.

The three slot pay phones we offer were staples of the telecommunications industry from about 1915 to the mid-1970s. Although the basic design didn't change, there were hundreds of changes made to the instrument itself.

The earliest three slot had a separate transmitter & receiver. In time, a handset replaced the separate receiver/transmitter configuration and a "shroud" was added around the dial. In the 1960s, coin return doors, coin drop buttons and security locks were added. Original old pay phones without these updates are quite rare and highly collectible.

All our payphones work and are equipped with a modular plug mounting cord. Pay phones do not have ringers inside. Coins drop through as they did originally, but do not operate the telephone's function. Check out our 1900-1950s or 1950s-1970s phones.
