"It's Little!...It's Lovely!...It Lights!"
A Western Electric Princess telephone in all its lighted dial glory. When the handset is on hook the light dims for a night light, or can be switched off.
This Princess, a modular model 702BM in beige which came from my parent's house, is still in service on my bedside table. It is the older version with the dial light powered by a plug in transformer, newer ones had line powered LED dial lights.
When the Princess phone was introduced in 1959, the Bell System promoted it with ads proclaiming
"It's Little!...It's Lovely!...It Lights!".
