“Guess who wants to say hello.” A telephone call with an actual person at the other end is a pretty good opening.

This original 1950s Bell Telephone System ad features a mother and child around the phone. It’s a warm bit of everyday communication history, from the era of making a family occasion out of a call. Nice for a hallway or a collection of telephone ephemera, including collections started by someone who insists they don’t like answering the phone.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10 × 13.5 inches.
• Approximate date: 1950s.

Condition: Vintage page with age-appropriate toning and light handling wear; inspect the photos for the exact page. The exact page pictured is the one you will receive.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
