I would like to nominate my 12-56 Western Electric 500 Desk Set in Mahogany Brown, purchased at an antique shop for $30.

July now so votes are already coming in for June. I don't think you can enter for July either as no phone in for June (see page 1).

Nice phone nonetheless.

Technically correct.
However, I think it would be ok to put this one in July Find of the Month.
Please PM me if there our any objections on this ruling.
Thanks,

I think it should be OK to nominate phones that arrived during the last couple of days of a month in the next month. This way everyone can take his/her time to unbox, identify and clean the item. Also, many members notic and evaluate early nominations more often than those that were posted on the last day.

Voting closed 5 days ago, looks like there will be no tiebreaker vote for June, so well done 'shinies', and well done countryman. Nice find.

Looks like I screwed up and forgot about the June voting.
I will create a 48 hour June tie-breaker poll.
We need to keep it down to 1 winner each month to keep the find of the year fair.
