While I was catching up on my beauty sleep, Janet was at the Flea market at 4:30 AM. She found us a few phones ;D....Doug

Just a few eh?  :D

Nice haul though, that wallphone (354?) up front looks like it has the wrong sort of handset (unless it's one like what they used on the 5300 phone?), but you really do have plenty to play with there, I mean lovingly restore and display..... :D

The 554 at the back looks nice and shiny though, I wouldn't mind getting one of them at some point... ;D

Nice haul.  That just proves that all the phones are out east.  Congratulations.

Doug, thank goodness it was just a few, otherwise the entire dining room table could have cracked in half! ;D ;D ;D

Jorge....she was there at the break of dawn and bought them all from the same person!! The guy next to him pointed out the "Phone lady" as she came up the aisle with her little wagon. They were signaling her before she got there. It pays to advertise! :-* My sister in law and her husband are up from FLA and were simply amazed. They thought I was the crazy one ::)...Doug

Looks like it would be difficult to find the main entrance to the house with the collection laid out. It looks like it is stuck in time warp. Guess that is why the "Hippies use side door" sign  :)
