Title: Purchased a Small Collection This Morning
Post by: Doug Rose on March 30, 2019, 02:00:48 PM
Jan & I purchased a small collection today in NH, around 100 phones. We jammed everything into her Acura RDX and I Mean JAMMED. Got some different stuff outside my comfort zone. Let me know if there is anything you need in the pics...Doug

That's quite a haul, if I may, where in New Hampshire?
I had a nice green single slot, sold it to jkl, now it's toast, boy I loved that phone... But I got a good price for it..

Hampton....Green slot has the keys and rings on incoming, but the handset is bad so it does not pick up. Feel free to make an offer. It is in really nice shape....Doug

Is it a C or D set? The C would have a huge totalizer on the coin gauge, the D has a much smaller electronic unit and the later would have a D connector to plug into the chassis.
I'm thinking it's a D because of the later handset.
And you say the handset doesn't work? Or the hook switch stays down when the receiver is lifted.
I wish I had some money, I'd buy that and sell my black D set.
Send me a pm with what you're looking to get...

I wouldn't call that a small collection when my whole collection is about 100 phones!
Clearly I need to try harder.  ;D

Is that Kellogg on the right of the 2nd photo really ivory or is it painted?

The Kellogg 925 set appears to be a painted set from COT

Robby ...Kellogg ashtray is a COT paint. Good thing is the phone has no chips or cracks. 


Is the SC fat boy a COT?  I have a red Ericsson Wall Phone that is a painted as well.


Just sorting through them. It was a lot!

Work got in the way today  >:( ....Doug

I am supprised that the kellogg set has perfect bakelite under the paint.Perfect sets were uasually polished black and damaged sets were repaired and painted. After I developed a method to repair damaged bakelite we could polish them black.That brass based set with the type 41 handset with brass bands is likely from COT

JKL?
Toast? That means it is burnt/ruined? What happened?

Did a search and answered my own question, info here for others who may not have read it:
