old telephones

[KirbysNphones]

Ok, I thought I'd post a few pics of some of my telephone collection, I restore and collect old phones from the 70's-80's and earlier.
Here's a link to my flickr page, this set is all phone stuff: (obviously the rack mount stuff and the payphones outdoors aren't mine)

It's a candle stick. I'd like to get a Western Electtic candle stick with a dial. Love the way Western Electric makes that "zip.... Clack clack clack" sound.

I have several rotary phones.
I have several "Princess" phones. One that is push buttons without the * and # buttons. The rest are rotary ones.
Couple of old desktop phones, wall phones, couple novelty phones and then a wood crank wall phone. It still works. An external rotary dial has been added to make outside calls.

The push button phones without * and # are hard to find, as they were only made for a few years! When touch tone came out, those buttons weren't thought of yet, hence why they are "missing" on the early touch tone models.

Cool to see others on here like em too!
