Nothing as you could not buy one, the Bell System monopoly (or if you were in one of the few communities with an independent telephone company, that company) owned every telephone just as they owned all the wires, telephone exchanges, long distances routes, etc. You leased your phone equipment and the monthly lease charge was included in your bill.
It was even illegal to connect anything that the telephone company did not own to their wires, until sometime in the 1980s.

∙ 8y agoThere was no price for a telephone at any time in the 1960s, they were all Bell System Property and illegal to sell. The phone company leased you the phone you used as part of your monthly phone bill.
Even in 1980 when I got my first phone service in California, the phone was leased from the phone company (Pacific Bell) and could not be bought.
