Dial or Pushbutton?

Looks like a nice 700 series telephone with a BT 431A line cord modification?

Takes me back to my BT days

Edit: My vote goes for push button, can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to be using 'loop dis' for dialing out.

It is also nice to see that even Mrs Q suffers from handset cable kinks!

Don't forget that the first push button models of that phone were only loop disconnect too. In fact, I found one that looks identical to the one in the picture in a cupboard at my mother's house about three weeks ago. It's 1981 model. DTMF models came along later.

One would have thought she would have someone who would take care of that for her. Standards are slipping!

Neither, just a blanked front. As suggested, someone will be dialling for her.

Trump likely has one of these on his presidential phone:-

also available in clear, which would be ideal for his red hot-line..........

Cheers!

It wasn't Buckingham Palace by any chance?

Looks like she made a wise choice only speaking to him on the phone .

Absolutely! One doesn't know where he's been.
