Before they pulled the payphones out of the local terminal, it was like an archeological site. The phones’ coin boxes would be inscribed with the name of the company that owned them. I remember Bell Telephone, Bell Atlantic, Nynex, and Verizon phones. Tehre were probably a few iterations I’ve forgotten.
Another tale I like is that they took giant steel sign off the top of the then Pan Am building and replaced it with Met Life. That’s another change that cost someone a few bucks.
Tbf that was probably cheaper than buying all new right?
