I am very proud to add my first "Find of the Month", a French CB manual Grammont Modèle 1918 in nickel.

Apparently I have failed to add the blue Trimline aka Deutsche Bundespost Manhattan until now. Here it is:

Time to add this 1982 Polish RWT Elektrim Storczyk 74. Just another plastic phone but with a quite different design and jacks to connect a tape recorder. A unique feature as far as I know?
The transmitter is an East German make (RFT), in their home market they apparently sold types with a black plastic front face, this one is metal and still works OK. The black ones I saw were all deaf. Export quality here!

Merk Telefonbau SA25 "Bayrischer Pferdefuss". One of my rarer phones! And in good condition, only the cords had to be (partly) replaced.

Amazing phones and interesting connectors, The RWT Elektrim looks to use DIN connectors like a '80's computer.

Happy to add this Modell 03 wall phone made by Petsch, Zwietusch & Co. It needed new internals but the wooden parts are original and in good order. It was elected find of the month in October 2022  :)

A very rare find in Europe, an Automatic Electric AE50 wall phone. Nicknamed Jukebox for a reason ;-)
I failed to fit in the plunger when I photographed the phone - it is not missing!

Is that AE 50 actually brown, or is it just the lighting?

A beautiful and iconic phone either way.
