PS: Dennis, check out your birth month and year!

PPS: I have seen phones like that go for at least $100 on eBay. Congratulations!

Thanks for the compliments!!  I was really excited about this one. It is the first blue one I found that is not yellowed.

Oh My, Jorge, I remember too many of those things from 1963.  Am I dating myself?

Excellent job Bushman, very nice and bright color on your phone.

No one here is old or dated.  Maybe we should all select a week where we temporarily replace our avatars with our own pictures.

Notice I said "temporarily".

This is a great phone, the color is nice and clean and finding it in a barn makes it all the better.  You've done a good job cleaning it up as well.


Sure, here is my latest pic:

I certainly could do some dental work for you in exchange for some phones?
