Western Electric P/U Mushroom Phone

[Doug Rose]

Jan got up at 3:30 AM to go to the Flea market this morning while I slept. Good thing she did, as this was the first thing she found....... in the dark!

All dated match 12-59, fully functional just need a power supply for the lamp. Such a good girl....Doug

Doug,

That is one nice find. Great condition, including the base feet.  How much did it cost? And, what was the finder's fee?   

You going to keep it or sell it?

Nice find. I have neverseen one of those in person. What a wife!....I can't ever imagine my wife purchasing a phone...

Great find, Doug...

It even has the original cap (yet screwed on backwards), and the plastics are in great shape!

If I ever find myself in the Boston area, I'm visiting that flea market!!!

Can't beat a find like that, Doug!  As you would say, this time you bit the bear.  I also noticed the mushroom cap is on backward but the new owner can straighten that out with little effort.  Congratulations!  Would be a good one for the next auction contest.
