My phone collection space is a little messy so I have to use 4 pictures. I will probably get more so I will post more pictures when I get more phones.

Great start. You can probably find the parts you need to complete the WE phones here. I may have a faceplate for the 2500 that is missing one. It may not be the right color but it would fill the hole. There is also tons of info her about restoring phone so you could pretty them up.  Welcome to the forum. You have found the best place on the net for everything related to old phones! I usually warn new members about Phoneitis but it is clearly too late for you. You are already infected. It is a progressive, incurable disease. The only treatment is more phones :D

If I could get that faceplate that would be great.

Hi George,

you have some nice phones there. I especially like the two Western Electric D1 desk sets shown in the first picture. It's a sought-after phone - one I'd like to have, but you rarely see them here in England.

As Harry says, there's a ton of great info on CRPF relating to pretty much every aspect of vintage telephony.

Hi George, and welcome to CRPF. You have some great phones in your collection.

If you need to know anything telephony related you have come to the right place to ask and learn.
And remember, use the search facility at the top of the page. You will find good threads containing well researched info, restorations and more. Lots of photos too.

Enjoy!  :)

The one on the left is in terrible condition, so I am restoring it.

Great start. Now phoneitis will take over.
