Title: Federal Telephone
Post by: LarryInMichigan on April 24, 2012, 03:45:52 PM
I am looking into buying a Federal Telephone Mfg Corp version of the "Grabaphone".  The seller is asking $50.  What do you think?

Looks like a great phone.  How much $$$ does the seller want?

I just noticed that the price somehow fell out of my original post, so I modified it.

I'd jump all over it.  (assuming no damage to the phone)  If you don't want it buy it for me

After I posted about it here, someone bought it.  That is rather suspicious because it had already been listed for more than a week.

Larry....I would have pounced on it for $50. Someone probably saw it here and jumped. It is a beauty...Doug

I couldn't buy it immediately because it was several hundred miles away, and the person who listed it didn't know if his uncle, the owner of it, would be willing to ship it.  I should have given him an up-front commitment, but I really wanted to see bigger pictures of it first.  Oh well...
