A very nice Picker find!

Was pleasantly surprised by a friend/picker that brought me this 151AL Dial stick for a princely sum of $60 yesterday!

2AA dial & earlier "Property of American Bell Telephone" transmitter back-cup. I really like the weird E1 receiver "thing" & the (former) vacuum tube base plug on the line cord!

Will it stay on hook? Too bad the E1 didn't survive intact.

Good DIY 4 prong plug.

Actually, it will stay on-hook (there's a "special" bulbous area on the receiver just under all the electrical tape just for that purpose). I also noticed the 4-prong plug being of 2 different size prongs to fit the wall socket properly. Now me, I would have just sourced a "regular" 4-prong plug!
