Kellogg 900 Pyramid?

[MagicMo]

Hi All,
I saw this beautiful phone on EBay and had to have it! I may have paid too much but this phone is so cool looking to me. I paid $51. The seller did not know what kind of phone it was. My guess is it is a Kellogg 900 Pyramid Phone. Am I correct? Did I overpay?
Thanks
Mo

You got a good deal. It is a 900 Kellogg masterphone aka Pyramid. I have one and the bells ring on  my landline. They are from the 1930's (peak art deco period)

Nice phone Mo! You don't have enough phones yet? Be sure to contact the seller with expicit packing instructions! That is a fragile phone that will break easily!

I watched the last minutes of that auction.  These phones are very stylish but incredibly breakable.  I have three shells, one with a complete network and ringer, but all three have chips, and one has big cracks.  Many of these were made with no internal parts other than the hook switch to be used with a magneto subset.  This one appears to be a CB version with the internal network and ringer.

I already contacted the seller regarding packing it.
And no, a girl can never have enough of two things: phones and chocolate. Im going to celebrate with a Hershey bar.
Thanks

Hey Larry, what is a CB version?  I have a beautiful K900 with nothing inside but maybe the hookswitch.  I think it is a 900a.  Do you know more about the different models?  Is there a 900b, for example.  Would you want to sell me your complete phone?  I would even let you keep the shell!  Or maybe you have a 700 subset I could convince you to part with....
