Thanks! I thought "phone companies" these days (media conglomerates) didn't care about this anymore. I'm still bummed that our local MTS collection was dismantled and sold off after Harry Mortimer passed. I only saw it in passing about 10 years ago when I couldn't find the MDF rack in the CO where the museum was. It wasn't open to the public. In seeing this, I wonder why Bell Canada let it go? Things came full circle, since MTS (then Manitoba Government Telephone) bought out Bell Canada's system here in 1908, and in 2016 they bought it back.

If it will make you feel any better, some of Harry's collection is carrying on in my collection.

Cool. I'll go search for posts of your collection 😁
