Here is some pictures of the 195G.
Most of the dates are from the 60's.Not sure how to decipher this one.
If you have any knowledge regarding this please post.
Thanks,
Mo

PS. Inside where the coin box looks like the date of: III-52

I also found this vault door. Not sure if it belongs to this one?

I'm anxious to see those coins, I'll bet they're collectible by themselves!  I'm picturing some pre-1964 coins or better.      
The idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane.

Thanks Ray,
I'm sure I will come across the right one here.

I found a 195G Payphone. Do you know anything about that particular phone?
Thanks

Uh-oh;

Are you setting me up?  Remember what happened the last time I told you about payphones! :o  ;D

It probably is 1929, updated in the early 50s, as post war payphones had that pivoting coin return bucket and didn't say "Grey Pay Station".  You have a prized item!  Please, don't "upgrade" it or throw any of the internals away!

195 is a post pay it never had a relay. Switch hook pileup is original fiber terminal is from a 233G. It is restorable but you are missing parts. parts. Black vault doors are rare also.

This is a 1929, but has been refurbished and upgraded to use a handset.  Originally, it had a separate transmitter attached to the front, where the square instruction card later was, and the receiver was just that, a receiver.

Interesting topic, but as the thread is more than nine years old the phone has likely since found a new home.

I thought 191G, 195G, and 197G were all prepay.

A 195G is indeed prepay.
The picture of the payphone in this thread has been upgraded (destroyed). The only indication left of that payphone ever being a 195G is orange ink.
