I finally got over to the shop to take pictures of my Pulsar stuff.  Just this summer my dad found a brand new set of Bell System marked plastics for a control head just like that one at an amateur radio swap meet.  Included with the set are a couple different kinds of faceplates and a WE PTT handset.  When I took it all out to photograph I found a "builders plate" off of an actual radio folded over in the bottom of the box.  I straightened it the best I could and it's in the photo too.  He paid $2 for the box.

Several years ago at the same swap meet I was walking around with a friend and he found that touchtone control head in a free box.  He knew I collected phones and picked it up simply because it said "Bell System" on it.  I completely missed it under the table, I'm glad he saw it!  I tried giving the guy a little bit of money for it, but he wouldn't take anything, thought I was crazy for wanting it.
