McMurdoSilver - Master of "Telephones as an Art"

[Doug Rose]

I haven't seen anything from Frank in five years.  telephonenut@gmail.com used to be his email.  Hopefully he just retired. He was a Master at refurbishing phones are as well as getting top dollar for them  ....Doug

Does anyone know what happened to eBay seller Mcmurdosilver? Some of the most phenomenal refurbs I have ever seen. Then he is gone.  I used to look forward to eBay Sunday night when he would post his next amazing piece....Doug

Hi Doug, Someone showed me this post. I felt I should answer.
I lost my wife to cancer in 2015.  Due to my own health issues (arthritis) I am retired and no longer restore phones.
I still collect however. 
Best, Frank

Hey Frank...sorry for your loss my friend. I understand the arthritis pain.  I have gout as well. Not a good combination.

I Truly miss seeing your auctions. Your work is truly a work of art. I looked forward to Sundays, hopping to see another classic.

We would all LOVE to see pictures of your collections! Good luck.....Doug

Some little secrets are best not shared.
Better to admire and just wonder how.

Sorry for your loss Frank. Getting older is no fun. I have arthritis in several places also, I understand your pain. Good to see you here.

Frank,

your photography is as impressive as your phones.

Frank;
Sorry for your loss.
Your amazing work set the bar for perfection that will never be surpassed.
Check in once and awhile and reminisce with us.
None of us are getting any younger, I just turned 70 and have COPD.
One word of advice to the younger hobbyists WEAR YOUR RESPIRATOR, No matter how uncomfortable it is.
