Antique Telephone Anyone?

Postby 4123 » Thu Dec 20, 2007 3:42 am

Hi there,
As an antique telephone collector, I have to ask....Does anyone out there own an antique telephone? If so, I would like to hear about it. Thanks, Ron

First off WELCOME!

Good looking Cub. How long have you had it?

I have some old phones but not like those.

Hi Ron...Here's a pic of a Western Electric, I don't know the mfg date. We found this in a collapsed cabin at the Bear Creek mine at Candle Alaska, just south of Kotzebue in 1966. Doug

I hope to scrape together enough to get one for the house I'm renovating in Missouri.

Manufacture date should be inside phone (or on back) .... WE was very good about dating everything they manufactured ....

I know, I used to work for them....
