I got a phone call from the Bell employee that sold me the phone booth and porcelain Bell sign.

He said he had bundled up somethings for me. I went today and picked them up.

That is a great haul, and a super nice 3-slot. I believe it is a complete 197, which has the older 101B coil and dual-coil relay. It was the last version of the 19x (the 197 has a coin return button and pull bucket) before the single-coil 2xx was introduced.

This 197H is a 1957, I believe the only thing that has been changed is the handset. Also it came with no keys. I had a 10H key from one of my other payphones for the top. The cash box has some coins in it. I will take the back off and get the cash box out, so I can access the lock. Someone made this into some kind of training phone. When I got the top off it was jammed with plastic money.

I guess I should explain about the signs, they all are from or for phone booths. The McDonalds ones are tempered glass and test pieces, That is what I was told by the Bell person. Burger King and 7/11 are plastic. The rest of the Bell ones are glass and plastic. All the signs are from the 1990's.

Nice haul! You got some great stuff. That pay phone in a box is very interesting!

Well that was fast, I sold the booth, one Millenium phone, Two books, the buttset, the booth light, Metal 302 with box, the Millenium backboard and 6 booth signs. The last Millenium phone has been promised to someone, so no payphones left.
