{"product_id":"bell-system-car-magnet","title":"Bell System Car Magnet","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive the daily drive a signal from the landline era with this Bell System car magnet. It celebrates Ma Bell and the telecommunications network that once tied together local operating companies, AT\u0026amp;T Long Lines, Western Electric, and Bell Labs. From the 1877 New Haven exchange to the 1984 Baby Bell separation, the Bell System remains a recognizable piece of American corporate and communications history. A straightforward display piece for collectors, telecom workers, and classic phone enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bell System was a North American telecommunications enterprise formed in 1877 around the Bell Telephone Company. That year, the American Bell Telephone Company opened the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut, and local exchange companies soon appeared in major U.S. cities. Alexander Graham Bell received a U.S. telephone patent on March 7, 1876. In 1899, American Telephone \u0026amp; Telegraph acquired American Bell's assets and became the system's parent company, overseeing a network that included local operating companies, AT\u0026amp;T Long Lines, Western Electric, and Bell Labs. Known colloquially as Ma Bell, the system used the Bell trademark from 1921 to 1969. A 1913 agreement with the federal government shaped its operations, while a 1956 consent decree imposed further limits. A Justice Department suit filed in 1974 ended in a 1982 settlement. On January 1, 1984, AT\u0026amp;T separated its local companies into seven Regional Bell Operating Companies, the Baby Bells, ending the Bell System as a unified enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e7.5'' × 4.5''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e7.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% vinyl face with matte finish for a muted, non-reflective look\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Black magnetic backing grips metal surfaces and removes cleanly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- All-weather durability—resists rain and sun exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in three sizes to fit vehicles, toolboxes, or merch displays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Printed with Digital-Direct Printing (DDP) for sharp, long-lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"7.5'' × 4.5'' \/ Rectangle \/ 1 pc","offer_id":54516182712604,"sku":"23799356324903713567","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/12466781458855342261_2048.jpg?v=1788438354","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/bell-system-car-magnet","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
