I picked up a couple of phones this weekend. The guy wanted $10.00 each and would not go any lower. There was also a 1960's Child's Gendron Carriage there in parts for $20.00 wouldn't go any lower plus an insulator for $2.00 and a Stanley Yankee No. 130A Spiral Ratchet Screwdriver for $2.00. So I did what the American Pickers would do. I bundled. I said $40.00 for everything and he took it. The phones were in a box so I didn't even look at them closely. I just mainly wanted them for parts. I brought everything home and put the carriage together. When I took the phones out of the box, I got a surprise. One is a 1959 E/F 500 and the other a 1969 C/D 500. I already have a E/F 500, so it looks like PEI Dave is going to get a good deal as he had said that he didn't have one in his collection. He can have the screwdriver for his truck back as well. The Carriage will be for my granddaughters.
