That phone is the T65. It was introduced in 1965. This picture was taken in 1997 or later. As that was the year they introduced the 112 emergency number. (was 06-11 before that) (most folks would sticker the new number on the phone)

For the kids;
You had to Dail a number by rotating the to disc. For ea h number, you'd put your finger in the hole over the number and rotate the disc clockwise till you hit the metal ruler.

The number written on the disc was the local number of this household.

Bartel, not all izi readers are native English speakers. Don't blame people for not knowing some dumb@$$ at some point arranged the letters in a word completely reverse to what the word sounds like. Dial, bail. Why the difference written vs pronounced?

Allan,

We had that same phone when I was a child. Fun fact; That pic was taken in The Netherlands. It has a Dutch emergency services sticker on it.

Allan, You could also dial by tapping the fork (or whatever the part that is pressed down when hanging up is called in English). Which is why emergency numbers are almost never 111; if someone were to pick up and slowly tap three times on the fork (Or pick up/hang up three times then pick up) you'd dial the number by accident.

King,

Technically, we always see our nose. Our brain just ignores it. Try seeing it now. (closing one eye helps) But after a short while you'll not see it anymore.
It's essentially the same reason why some women or men seem to live in a cloud of perfume or aftershave. They stop smelling it and keep adding more until they smell it again, and the rest of us smell them from across the street.
