Good haul

[Gilas]

I was speaking with a lady the other day about old phones when she advised that she had several that she would sell me for parts if I was interested.  She told me that I could have the lot for $50.  Below is a picture of the lot that I received from her.

I haven't had a chance to tear much apart yet but from what I have seen:

The 202 has a #4 dial with a celluloid face plate that appears to be in excellent condition other than the yellowing seems to be an issue with a lot of these face plates.

The wall phone is a 553A also with a #4 and looks to be in amazing condition inside and out from what I've seen.

A base to a 684BA that needs some TLC

Also a 51AL with 2AA dial and an unnotched faceplate.  Both the phone and the faceplate itself are in great shape and in my quick wipe down of the faceplate I found no problems.

The lady also threw in the 2 receivers one is missing the two caps and has a small crack the other looks fine.

Overall a pretty good deal for $50 I would say

Looks like a good haul to me.

Looks like about $300 worth.  Those WE wall phones rarely sell for under $100.

Outstanding!  This is definitely Find of the Month material.

Nice, that $300 would be on a bad day.  $400 is definitely within reach.

I was being conservative.  $400 is well within reach under the right circumstances.

I like the 653-A with an early (1936) 101A induction coil.
