It's time to test another Vintage Gadget! This week I am testing out the "New and Improved" Tele-Rest, a 1950's device that allows you to talk on the phone hands-free. Let's see how this gadget works! I hope you enjoy.

My grandmother was the senior executive secretary for a large insurance company from the late 40s until 1980. She oversaw a secretary pool that handled all of the agents. She was kinda like Joan from Mad Men. Not viscous (LOL) but no-nonsense. All the women in her division were sharply dressed with their hair done, makeup, and high heels. She made sure things got done right and on time! She was highly respected by everyone including the "Suits". As a kid, I remember going to the office with her sometimes and all the he secretaries had this device. I was always amazed how fast she could type, talk on the phone and look at me while typing, never looking at her keyboard! I loved her so much and with me being the only grandson, I "walked on water" in her eyes. She's been gone for 35 years. I miss her and still think of her.

Videos like this make me appreciate modern things that we take for granted, in this case Bluetooth headsets and speaker phone and just being cordless in general and not even having to be by the actual phone to talk on it. Most people today, especially those younger than 25, would lose their shit if we had to go back to one phone per household and you had to actually hold the phone to your ear in ONE ROOM ONLY to talk to people.

Black and Decker makes an iron called The Classic. It’s heavy like vintage irons were and gets hot, but not to the point of burning holes in the ironing board. It’s modern with a vintage feel. Hope this helps. When you used your nail to unscrew and screw the screw, all I could hear is my nail lady telling me that my nails were “ jewels not tools”! LOL 😆 Loving the hair!

It made things so simple because I could answer the phone, make a computer inquiry, or reach across my desk for a report, or take notes, all while the phone remained secure and I had two hands free. No crick in my neck from trying to hold the receiver between neck and shoulder. It never occurred to me to use it at home, lol.

Greetings, Laci! Fellow vintage lifestyler here. I recommend getting an X-Link device so you can use your rotary phone. The gadget pairs whatever landline it's connected to with a cellphone by Bluetooth so whenever you're in range you can both make and receive calls from the landline. I use it on my antique candlestick phone and it works just fine. I have had exactly the same experience with vintage travel irons heating up to the scorching point and beyond. For a vintage aesthetic iron, I recommend the Black & Decker classic. It's a fantastic iron. I've used mine for about six years almost daily.
