Our auction contest this week concerns a rather nifty Stromberg Carlson deskstand. This one is is listed as being from 1898, has one of the most fearsome receivers I've ever seen, and looks like a million bucks all decked out in nickel.
What will it bring? Let's hear your guesses before the auction's final day, and you could be this week's winner!

$1600, maybe.....That's a very desirable set. These type of sets generally divide the boys from the men, or the casual collector from the down right brutally serious collector ;D
$1871
$1150
Whew, that sure is pretty! Looks like I'm going to have to go with a wild and amazingly high bid idea of 950 clams, Amerikun. I know, that's low, but I keep thinking that any minute now the economy is going to put the brakes on these e-bay auctions and I'll win the Big Prize.
What is the Big Prize this week anyway?
I'll go with $1300.
McHeath, the big prize is your very own one of these highly collectible caterpillar phones: ;D
Seriously though, that really is one of the neatest phones I've ever seen in my brief career. :o
Nice toy... Hmmm, alot of bids.....
MMMM. I guess, drum roll, please........
I guess 2100.00.
Bill Cahill ;D
My guess.....
$1960.00
D/P
$789. It will be a bargain
With the economy the way it is, 1255.

Yummy. But do I have to pay for the incoming calls? Cuz' if I do then it's a rip off and I'm so outta here.
$1580 for me
Sweet looking phone. $1450
Hey I think I won this one, final price of 971.99! A lot less than I really thought it would go for.
It's all you, McHeath! Congratulations. 8)
Stay tuned for the next auction to be posted shortly!
Congratulations, McHeath, you lucky Snoopy Dog, you. :)
I know, I know, I'm amazing. 8)
