Found some neat telephones today,  3 Automatic Electrics, a 40, 50 and 90, all seem to be in decent shape.
I also found 2 Stromberg Carlsons, a 1243 that has some kind of switch on the front of it, and a 1543, I spent sometime working on the 1543 this afternoon, it's marked 1543E 16 2/2 Special Buzzer, I opened it up, there was no ringer/gongs in the phone I plugged it in and got a dial tone and it dialed out fine, and when it rings, it sounds like a ring, it a pretty cool phone.

One of your phones looks like an AE35.  That is a rare and valuable find.  Congrats!

Yes, the "50" looks like an AE 35 with the wrong handset. Can you photograph the side and the back?

Thanks

Here are a side and back pictures of the telephone

No side vents so it is a 35 not a 50. Congrats!

Where are you finding these things?? I don't run across old phones like that! a #35 is quite the catch! restored, worth over $200!
