Red Phones

[Greg G.]

Here are my red telephones
2. NEC Type 4, actually its a maroon phone

Do the Type 4's have a manufacture date on them anywhere?  My Type 3 does not.

Here's a red 108 loudspeaker for a 4A Speakerphone.  I'm still looking for the matching red 680 Transmitter, in case anybody knows where one might be hiding.

only one of my type 4 that has a manufacturer's date, it says 1936 on the transmitter

On the japanese type 4 set you use 1936 as the date, this might be  the year showa 36.which would be 1961. These sets were post war and inspired by the 302.

Dave F, yours look nice too.  I also enjoy red phones.  I would love to someday have a Red (not Pekin Red) 202 like the one Finlover posted some time ago.

Okay, Mr. Smarty Pantalones, I'll be posting some red phone photos tonight--get ready!

AMEN TO THAT

i can leave for an hour and then i am behind 5 pages  We are a chatty little group

[finlover]

Okay, here we go.  Most of you guys have seen these already, especially the Continental that Dennis posted a link to earlier, but here they are anyway.  I hope I never have to sell these babies:  a '57 554, a '55 500 and the Continental.  I also have a red '60s rotary multi-line phone but I haven't taken pictures of that one.  Enjoy!

And just for fun here's the "Red Dragon" phone I did for my son who was born in 2000, the year of the dragon.  Don't worry--no rare or valuable phones were harmed in the making of this creation!

[mienaichizu]

I am always amazed on how you refinish your phones

[Kenny C]

I was born in 1996 what Animal am I?

Yours is the year of the mouse, so you need Mickey Mouse phone in your collection for sure!  And here I thought you were born in '55 from your screen name.  Well, welcome to the hobby, you little whippersnapper!  Collecting old phones is easy--talking to girls is the hard part.
