Pasadena Ca

[Mike 1017]

I am looking for a 1960's Pasadena Ca phone number. This gonna be on a sign.

The phone number does not have to be real.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks for the nod , @JollySipper. 

From memory: SYcamore and PYramid (both "79") were common in Pasadena 'proper'; to wit : SY-1-0060 or PY-9-1000 , '213' area code (818, eta., didn't come along until c.1982).

I hope that this helps.

This what I need

Checking some '65 Pasadena newspapers, I'm finding SY, MU and HI.

SYcamore (79) is the most common COX number I've seen. 

MUnicipal (68) sounds like a South Pasadena COX.

HIghland (44) is an FX (Foreign Exchange) COX, IIRC.

[EDIT] : MUnicipal (68) is the FX prefix, not HIghland (44).
