An atlas? No, I've never had one.
Dictionary? No. We had a huge Webster's dictionary when I was a kid, which always seemed to be among the missing when we wanted to use it.
Bible? Yes, lots of them. I have a huge family bible from 1887 with various births and deaths of family members written in it, most of whom I've never heard of. The earliest date written in it is 1883 (a birth) and the latest date is 1978 (a death). I also have a Bible that my mother gave me when I was 7 years old (1982); the two Bibles that my mother and father used when I was a kid; the Bible that my grandmother gave to my older sister when we were kids, and various other ones.
Globe? No. I had a cheap one when I was a kid but it's long gone.
Encyclopedia set? No. We had a set from 1968 (Encyclopedia Americana) when I was a kid and I used it all the time, but obviously the internet has made physical encyclopedias obsolete.
Calculator? Yes, a Texas Instruments calculator that my older brother bought for me when I was in 7th grade, but I haven't had any use for it since I first got a PC in 2001.
Landline? Yes, and I'll have one for as long as possible. I wish everyone still had one, along with Western Electric phones, like in the days of the Bell System. Phone calls were much better quality back then.
Wall clock? Sort of. My wall-mount oven has a built-in digital clock which also functions as a timer.
Phone book? Yes, I get them in the mail every year, but I haven't used one in many years.
"Phone calls were much better quality back then."
I'd have to agree with that. Trying to deal with Customer Service these days via automated systems is exasperating. If you're lucky enough to eventually get a live person on the line, odds are it will be some foreigner with such a thick accent, that person is barely intelligible.
