I missed the last three Brimfields because of my bad hip and then hip replacement.  What better day to try it out with 92 degrees Hot & Humid! Perfect!! Jan and I had a great day ...the hip held out and we got some real nice phones at bargain Prices!

I had always wanted a Kellogg ITT Desk Payphone. No clean up yet but it looks like it is is really nice shape $50!! I had just turned Jan loose with the wagon back to the SUV when I found this. I carried it back to the car. Ouch!  I am more than happy with it.

Real nice early WE stick with outside terminals for $100. The rest were $5 and $10 each. Stellar day. I need a Sam's Summer for medicinal purposes  8)...maybe Two....Doug

Very nice. Wish we had events like that.
Where will you put them all - any phone room extensions in the pipeline?

Glad to hear your hip held up Doug. Nice haul. I remember an age when Colonoscopy, hip replacement & prostate discussions weren't part of a guys normal conversation.

Doug,
they aren't that had to get open. However the pry marks do detract from the "look" of the phone.
