The one on the wall in my mom’s kitchen in the 60’s had an extra long cord and she would use it to chase us out of the kitchen when we bothered her on the phone. Threat only. No actual contact but you could never be sure it wouldn’t come down on your head. My dad got the special cord at a business store. He wanted her to keep cooking while she talked. She would get involved in conversations and burn dinner.
Yes, we used to stretch the long cord from the single home phone into other rooms to talk privately! Haha, I always knew my sister was home when I saw the cord stretched to her bedroom.
