That is a beautiful booth! And the phone does it justice.  Nice find, nice job.

I disagree...

Very nice phone and booth! I have always liked the Gray 50Gs and 150Gs, they just look so cool!

Thanks guys.. I really love it.. I call it my time machine. I step in and it brings me back in time to the good old days.. Lol.

I probably could have saved myself a ton of money if I just left the phone as is was when I first bought it. It still would have made a great display piece, but I had my heart set on getting it to work with coins to draw a dial tone. Having it work correctly is really a hoot!

Try these folks for replacement tin.   They started making tin ceilings in 1898.

The Phone Booth and the Payphone are fantastic. You should be very proud to own both. Simply outstanding...Doug

Thanks Doug,

I've been like a proud Dad ever since I got her together and working. I have sent photos to all my friends and family too. Lol.. I just love these old phones.
