Description:(This description is AI generated and may contain inaccuracies.)
This collectible phone card commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Atlantic Cable, celebrated from 1858 to 1958. The card prominently features a detailed black-and-white image of a ship with crew members handling the transatlantic cable during the cable-laying operation. Above the image are the words "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE," and to the right is a postmark dated "AUG 15 9-AM 1958" from New York, N.Y. The card includes a purple postage stamp marked "ATLANTIC CABLE CENTENARY 1858-1958" with a value of 4 cents, depicting a balloon-like device.
Below the image is a banner with the inscription "100th ANNIVERSARY of the ATLANTIC CABLE 1858-1958." Adjacent to this, printed text identifies the company Homisco/VoiceNet with contact information: an address at 99 Washington Street, Melrose, MA 02176, a voice phone number (617) 665-1997, and a fax number (617) 665-3013. The card visually honors the historical milestone of the transatlantic cable’s first successful connection, combining philatelic elements with telecommunications branding.
Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
