We have an 1950s phone, which we can use if we wanted to.

that is the old 300 type phased out by 1972 when I joined BT. That is when there was the House exchange system (HES ) and house telephone system (HTS). never actually installed them but did recover quite a few.
The HES was an internal house system mainly used in very big houses , The HTS actully did the same but with an exchange line added
later replace with the plan 105 and 107 system which had the main phone with extns, ie secretary and boss type of thing. for house use was the plan IA that could have up to 6 phones ( depending on distance from exchange) on the same line or the plan 4 which was sockets mainly and the phone could be plugged into any
