On a Roll...My AE just finished

[jfrutschy]

Ok folks, here was another just finished up.  A total mess,  but the BK1045 and time, this is what I came up with.  And a quick peek at others.

Nice Work! And a very nice display
I would recommend Extensicords on those AE's

That phone looks absolutely beautiful! Good job!

I really like the maroon on the wall too!

Copy that on the extensicords, thought so to.

I'm hooked ordering now.....

 jfrutschy,
               Great job on the phones !! Now if I could just talk my wife into a telephone display  , most of mine are now in boxes in the shop.   stub

What is the difference between the louvered and the vent holes in the 21's???  Is ther a historical distinction or devalue the phone.

Very cool display!

 jfrutschy,
               The louvers can be seen in the 1929 catalog (Bulletin No. 1015) and the holes came later. The first cover with holes ,that I can tell, came in 1934  ( AE Catalog 4055) on the AE Type 32A14 Handset Wall phone. As far as reading written info I haven't, just from looking at pics in catalogs.
                I just don't have one with louvers!!   stub
