Gallery
More pictures and images are coming.
We have many more images to add. For now, you can view examples of advertisements that were placed by the local telephone company inside of phonebooths or examples of the instruction cards installed on payphones.
Upcoming galleries will include famous telephone booths, telephone booths still in existence (there aren't many left), and examples of unusual or custom telephone booths.
Phonebooth Advertisement Cards
Advertisements were placed in telephone booths and rotated regularly. Here are some examples from our collection.
Payphone Instruction Cards
These instruction cards were installed on individual payphones to provide general instructions for use or specific dialing information.
Payphone Ads
The Bell System and independent telephone companies ran advertisements promoting the convenience of payphones.
Several examples of these advertisements are reproduced in this gallery.
