They Are Still Out there

[Doug Rose]

I run an ad on CL Wanted Old Telephones 30s & 40s. I got an email from a lady that she had three phones for sale. Two weeks of exchanging emails and I finally set up a date to meet her.

WE Blue 500 set works....all dates match

WE 102 2HB dial

WE 500 set 9/54

Payphone Frame with area dialing instructions

They are out there....Doug

Nice. 102, top of my want list. 

Is the fingerwheel meant to have a centre for a dialcard? It's very French looking with just that single centre nut.

I thought that they were all in a crowded house in Framingham.

Fab...the older WE dials just had the nut and not the flange. This did have a dial card in a retainer ring...just MIA. The original paint still has a great shine to it.

According to the owner, it was in the house when her Granfather bought the house. It works but the line cord is shot! Dated 3 29.... third quarter 1929....oh my! ...Doug
