Thank you.  It's more like a phone/clock/radio room. 

I hope to post more pictures eventually.  What I need is a good camera so I can get detailed pictures.  I would like to try to help pay for some of this by renting out things as props.

Very nice indeed.  I recognize a lot of those phones from your previous posts.  Looks like you're ready for some more shelves!

[LarryInMichigan]

Looks like you're ready for some more shelves!

And some more rooms as well

There are two full-length shelves of Telechron clocks above the phones.

LOL, my room has been a Phone/playmobil room for 2 years. It contained, apart from my phones, an egyptian army, a roman army, several ships, a village, wizards, dragons, arabs, Knights, fairies, priests, a flying castle, elves, dwarves, etc. Something to do with wargaming in my garden.

you have some beauts........the coloured SC's are well represented. and a grey toaster. lots that are new to me. what do have in daily use ? i'd be tempted to use that tall french one.
i'm scanning the ranks for a redbar......i'm sure he's in there somewhere.
nice to see some clocks, too.
good luck with the prop-hire idea.

Thank you for the compliments.  I use most of those phones at one time or another.  Using the same phone on my desk for more than a few days is boring.  The old French PTT24 is one of the most fun phones to use.

There are a couple of Kellogg "red bar" desk phones on the left side of the bottom shelf which didn't make it into the pictures.  I am not good at photography.

Here is a shot of some of my wall phones (including a "red bar").

Since someone mentioned clocks, here are some pictures from last summer of the Telechron shelves.  They have be rearranged slightly since then.

glad to hear that your phones are put into use. i use mine in rotation too, but as i have only nine, they tend to come round a bit quicker than in your case.

i just did a search on 'french ptt24 phone' and came up with a photo of an old french dial card. well, the pic is from this forum........from wds.

the instructions on it are nice and specific ............

in responding to all calls, announce :  "i'm here......i'm listening !"
