Rotary phones were very popular in the mid-20th century, before push-buttons were invented, let alone touch screens. 

This vintage piece has its appeal, although it was definitely not practical. To make calls on these phones, you would insert your finger into the hole corresponding to the number you wanted to dial and rotate it clockwise until it stopped. 

Then, you would wait for the rotary to return to its initial position and repeat the process to dial all the numbers you wanted.
