Gray W.E. phones are always tough to find, especially at bargain-basement prices.  I nominate this nice gray 2500 set which I just won on eBay for only $5.00 (+$10s/h).

Okay, I guess I will have to nominate this one:

Stockdale's beat up old AE 40 that even an Antique Store could only justify asking $40 for it.

I nominate Nilsog's 20-S and C-1.  Screw shaft candlesticks are hard to come by and 4H conversion dials don't exactly grow on trees.

Not the greatest find, but points out that prices for modern phones are down. I paid $20.50 for this 4 button 302.

Okay, the Poll is ready to go so lets vote for November 2011's Find of the Month. Only 4 choices this month so not a big investment in time to make your choice and cast your vote.

Okay, lets give the award to Stockdale. Congratulations Stockdale! I am not sure if we have ever had such a run away winner before. He already has the award, a Mahogany AE40 with Gold trim for $40 so lets call it even.

On with Decembers Find of the Month now.

Thanks everyone!
