I was digging through old stuff I hadn't looked at in a long time. Anyway, I have an Automatic Electric Navy type F that I obtained from the USS Bushnell AS-15 in 1983 shortly before she was sunk for target practice. I was stationed on the Emory S Land  AS-39 at the time, where we were doing a final strip of the ship prior to the sinkex, and each person working the teams was allowed to 'liberate" a memento. So now I'm curious about the collectivity and value of this phone. It is all there, even the phone number tag of the shop it was in. The interior wiring has been cut in a misguided attempt to restore it many years ago, but no parts are damaged. I have a schematic copied from this site. The paint has all been removed down to the brass.
Thanks for any and all responses.

Welcome to the Forum, Burl.

Your phone is cross-collected by those interested in phones, military communications, navy, "steampunk" and other interests.  They don't turn up that ofted, especially in good condition.
