Some of them pretty ordinary to you guys on that side of the Atlantic, but all of them very special to my collection. These came to me from the U.K., U.S. and Germany.

A few stand out for different reasons. The cast iron original GPO kiosk part... the black W.E. trimline is cute...  and more.

All fab in their own way.

That looks like an nice early GPO 706, hopefully it still has its Diakon body and handset.

Thanks. Diakon and correct right down to its feet. All the sellers did an excellent packing job apart from that one. Although packing info was sent, it travelled with its handset on the cradle and not enough padding to keep it stable in the box. Thankfully, it survived.

Three shinies have crept their way into the collection. I am considering moving my grey on to make room...
