The best-maintained of the emergency call boxes, such as this one, cut quite a stately and even beautiful profile.
Ironically, a fire engine approached just as I took this photo.
Ironically, a fire engine approached just as I took this photo at 58th Street and 5th Avenue. Needless to say the FDNY truck seen at the right of this photo was not responding to a call made from this useless, gutted out call box.

This is the first time I noticed that the call boxes bear the brand name of Norelco.
This is the first time I noticed that the call boxes bear the brand name of Norelco. Electric razors and emergency call boxes make for a somewhat eccentric product line.
SORRY! Temporarily OUT OF SERVICE.
I like how the clip art on this sticker includes the image of a rotary dial payphone. Does this sticker date from the 1980s? Has this payphone been out of service that long?

Face In the Payphone
I see a face in this decimated payphone.
Someone Left a Fork
I don't suppose anyone was thinking of eating this payphone, were they? Maybe this was someone's way of saying "Stick a fork in it."
False Advertising
Signs like this rise up across the country, advertising public telephones which do not exist.
Payphone Innards
Someone did a pretty lousy job of dismantling this payphone. None of these wires and innards should be sitting here exposed on a public street.
Coin Return
The coin return slot appears to be suspended in mid-motion.
Wad of Paper Where the Money Used To Be
This compartment used to hold coins that were used to feed conversations made from this abandoned payphone.
WARNING. DO NOT PUSH.

This is my favorite type of payphone: On the curb. Almost on the street. In traffic. This public pay telephone is public in more ways than one. Read More at PayphoneNews.com.

Wavy Metal Grids
By the way, not everyone knows the purpose behind these weird-looking wavy metal grids (which happened to be located next to one of the emergency call boxes in this photo series). These metal grids are designed to prevent flooding in underground subway stations that were prone to flooding in the past.
