Imperial Princesses

[compubit]

I just received a fairly hard to find Princess: 712BW Imperial.

I picked it up on eBay from Jim Engle (aka ATCA) and I couldn't be happier!

I paid $85 + $12.45 for shipping as a Buy It Now - I could see the price going higher and it fits perfectly with its Imperial brethren (or should it be sistren? After all, they are Princesses...)

The 702 and 2702 haven't held their shine as well as the 1702 and 712...

Very impressive Jim. A beautiful set to be proud of...Doug

Very nice collection Jim. I rarely see them for sale.

Nice collection, I am picturing them in a big room with gold wallpaper.

After I got my first two (702 & 2702), I didn't expect to see a 1702 (unobtainium) - but then a few weeks later - there it was on eBay, as a Buy It Now, and decently priced. Grabbed it and thought I was done. 

But alas, the 712 popped up, so now need to look for other Imperial variants...

You should connect up all the dial lights, even if you dont connect the phones to anything.

Jim,

Here's a photo including another one to watch for -- a 1712 found years ago. It's been on my site for quite a while, and was a very lucky find. Hope you find one, too.

Nice phone Paul.
They almost look like the cases are clear with the gold or silver paint on the inside.

My 1702 has the least appearance of use of my 4 - though the 712 isn't far behind.

I'm guessing the 1702 was exchanged for a 2702 early on and sat ina corner somewhere...

Now you need to collect each of them with the black handset.

I have seen them with a gold matching handset.
But I guess those wouldn't be an Imperial
