New phones for me

[Phonesrfun]

I went to an estate auction today which featured several neat phone items.  I always like to add things to my collection that I don't already have.  It seems that too often, I seem to collect many of the same things.  As many phones as I already have, I have very few wood magneto wall phones, and until today, I had no fiddlebacks.  As of today, I now have two.  A Western Electric 301 fiddleback, and a Sweedish-American fiddleback.  I also won a replica of a very early AG Bell "camera" phone.  (No, not an iPhone!) 

The WE 301 has a pony OST receiver and the Sweedish-American has a butter stamp receiver and an orignal rattlesnake cord. 

All these items are in absolutely great shape, as is typical of all the items this man owned.

Here are some photos:

Wow. Incredible finds (all of them!) Love the Bell Camera phone repro. Someday, I hope to find one like that for the museum. It is beautiful!

Nice!  You did better than I did yesterday.  Anita and I went to an "Estate" sale nearby that was advertised in the paper.  What a joke, the place was practically empty.
