For the longest time you couldn't buy a phone and all equipment belonged to the phone company that you had to rent. I think it was somewhere in 70s consumers could start buying their phones.

they probably put that thing in a museum.

I have a rotary phone that actually was in a museum. It was temporarily installed in Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History for a visit by President Nixon (for an environmental conference with five Great Lakes governors) sometime around 1970. It has a White House logo in the center of the face plate.
