Janet found this beauty at a flea market this morning before the sun came up. Flashlight found this beauty. $30!!! They are out there. I will post more pictures when I clean it up. This is in amazing shape for a painted phone from the 50's....Doug

Great find for $30! I know the first one of those I bought I paid $125 for it. It did have a #4 dial in it though. Can't beat $30!

Here is the finished phone....Doug

It is actually better than the pictures show it to be. I am extremely fortunate to have this phone. It was the color I need to complete my set and I have been waiting for some time. To find it in this amazing condition is phenomenally lucky....Doug

Doug, is that a local EXchange?

Wow, super find! I have to start getting up earlier on Saturday mornings! I'm jealous.

This was a good weekend, but there are a lot of days when it can be very sparse and you feel like you've wasted your day off. You take the good with the bad, this was very good!!...Doug

Nothing found this last weekend, Doug? Did you go?

We need some more "Find of the Month" contestants for October (hint)

It was sparse. We did find a nice manual 202 with really nice original paint. We did pickup a couple of beatup 302s and a Kellogg red bar for parts only as they were pretty much destroyed. You take the good with the bad. The yard sale season has about a month to go and will get more sparse as we go. Nothing like last week which was the best weekend of the year for us!!....Doug

Terry....it is always a thrill just to be nominated or whatever they say when they are nominated for an Oscar.

You should come up with a clever name for your award.

Well that is probably obvious "The Phoney Award"
