Harry;
Even if we were somehow able to get every original facet, including the original factory workers, that made the original phones, it's still a reproduction.
There would be some that would try to pass them as N.O.S. and probably could get away with it, but it's been reproduced.
Never the less I would love to have one of every model W.E even if Reproduced.

Lucky man!

That reminds me of a fellow a friend introduced me to many years ago.  He was an insulator and street light collector.  His suburban lot had utility poles scattered through the back yard connecting the streetlights, using insulators from his collection.  He glassed in the back porch and had a control room with a panoramic view, and could put on light shows, reminding me of running my model train layout when I was a kid. Quite impressive.

Inside the house, the "dining room" had no furniture, but was floor to ceiling light boxes backlighting the serious part of the insulator collection.

He was in the process of getting a divorce.  Apparently his wife was concerned when he started collecting watt hour meters and they were gradually spreading up the walls on the cellar steps, heading for the ground floor.

Two years later, he had a new wife, who was apparently quite at home with the growing electrical collection.

One wonders what's happened since.  It probably involved moving to a larger house.
