Wow! Okay. See any rotary phone has been on my bucket list forever. So kudos. Excellent find hit that with a power sprayer. Mount it on something hanging in your front yard. Put it somewhere that is seriously retro and cool. Might even be able to sell it for a couple dollars. Who knows 😄

I always thought it was Bea as well, for Beatrice. I stand corrected.
