Those of us of a certain age will remember rotary dial phones and TV trays well. Younger BPrs will wonder how we survived.:)

Looks like '60s to me, tho the phone looks older. Remember numbers starting with "Lowell" or "Murryhill" etc.?#10893102

The first phone I remember had a party line and you cranked it to "dial" the number, so when the rotary dial phone came along I thought it was absolutely the bees knees! ;-D Cool capture, David! #10893389MELODIE C. ROBERTS November 07, 2013
TV trays are the greatest!Thanks for the memories Dave! #10893398
