That gun is beautiful.   
 
With regard to the old phones, my grandmother was the town clerk of Ischua, NY when I was about 5 years old.  As I recall she had the first phone in town and it was an old hand crank phone.  It was made of oak and was beautiful.  I wish I had it now.  We did have a party line and our ring was 2 longs and a short as I recall.  Now we get bird chirps for rings.  Life was better in the 50's in many ways.
