The Beginning. The above picture is what the 3-slot payphone looked like before restoration began.
- Payphone technology didn’t change significantly until 1913. That is when the invention of the “three-slot” payphone came into existence. The next big change was in 1965 when modern single coin models debuted. By that time, the payphone had become an American icon.
Three manufacturers were in the US and Canada:
The Gray Manufacturing Company:
- Later became Automatic Electric. Made in Canada and USA, specifically for the independent phone companies, which was eventually bought by GTE (General Telephone Company) Now known as Verizon
Northern Electric:
- Later became Nortel Networks. Made in Canada, for Bell Canada.
Western Electric:
- Later became Lucent Technologies. Made in the USA, for The Bell System. Now known as ATT
This is a summarized version of the different manufacturers from back in the day.
Three versions are available from all the above manufacturers.
1. Original Classic Black
All are available in black japan, which was the original factory colour. Chrome or black parts change the look and time frame of the payphone. Different signs also make for a statement of the era and times.
2. Full Body Colour
Automatic Electric introduced colours in the mid-1950′s during the Art Deco time frame. They were introduced to blend in and compliment the decor of a business or hotel lobby, along with the intent to add a product to their sales line. All monochrome single shade or the removable parts were changed to chrome for a very dressed up look. Original factory colours and new old stock parts are from that period.
Below is a chart of the available factory colour’s that were offered in 1956.
