Description: Bill & Mac's Washer Dryer Repair Service Adverting GLASS PAPERWEIGHT 1920's Culver City CA The phone number on this has two letters and 5 numbers. Here is a small history fact about phone numbers below. Up until about the 1950s, phone numbers were alphanumeric, eventually settling on a 2-letter, 5-number system that usually identified the region of the phone number and also aimed to make it more memorable.This system had to be done away with for a few reasons, one of which was due to the confusion that arose from telling someone letters that sounded like other letters, causing people to get the wrong number. Another reason was simply because you just couldn’t make as many combinations using the letters, as you could by using digits—then they had to add even more digits with the introduction of area codes. These type of advertising tactics were very popular in the 1920's & 1930's. The paperweights are very cool and are now a conversation piece 100 years later. Enjoy!
