Monday and Tuesday were a complete wash out, yes we can use the rain. I saw two of my three kids and all eight of my grandchildren so it was a great day.
Janet found a a $5 phone. All back AE 40 with a nice cloth cord and a Wonderful dial card.
I forgot how nice a all Black (nee handset bar) looks. Frequency ringer but she so ring!!
This is a heavy little phone...Doug
Wow, what a beauty! when I find a phone I have to ware a hasmat suite and clean it.

The frequency ringer works? Great find.

My plain black AE40, the only one I have as they are hard to get in the UK, is one of my favourite phones. A really elegant design in my opinion.

Agreed....it is a classic design, with great lines like cars from the 40s and 50s....Doug
I had a nice day on Labor Day, walking through the more than 500 dealers at a Northern Michigan flea-market. The pair of wood wall phones I couldn't resist for a mere $50, and I got a SUPER-NICE early 302 (short-ears/small plunger) 1937-throughout for $60. Bought the other stuff for Constance to sell in her antique booth at the local shop.
