I am new here but I love phones with a passion and have been collecting them since I was about 5 years old. I have hundreds of phones now and love and care for each one of them. I am very fond of the Western Electric 302! I have about 200 of them!!!! I am glad to be here and glad I found this forum!!!!

Will do. I am sort of a luddite in many ways and don't have a digital camera yet. I plan to post pics of all these phones I have. I am glad to be here!

Welcome to the forum sir. I think you are the first member that needs no warning about the perils of the infectious phone collecting bug. I think some us need to take cover from you!!!

I hope you have fun here and we are looking forward to see more phones from your collection.

It is a bug for sure.  I find myself being a rescuer all the time. I am actually known in many antique malls simply as the phone man.  ;D

Hey I'll trade you a 302 for that odd looking non WECo junker on the right in your picture.

Gotta be broken. It doesn't even have the correct number of digits. I'll take it off your hands:-)

That is a beauty though. I found that phone in a antique mall believe it or not.  It was part of a giant collection of a man that had just passed away. I was lucky to find it. I also have the wooden version of the Strowger.
