Rotary dial telephones dominated much of the 20th century until push buttons eventually took over. What's so special about this particular rotary phone? It was the 2 millionth telephone installed by Mountain Bell. It was put into place at San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico in 1958. Today, it's on exhibit at the Telephone Museum of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
