Had a great day at the flea market last Sunday, got some great telephones real cheap, the 2 best are a 1937 302 with vents for $20 and a A&E jukebox wall telephone for $20, I wish everyday was like this.

Your $15.00 302 w/E-1 is a great find as well. It is just as relevant as the 1937.

You should select 1 for the find of the month.

Scot....wonderful finds. Jan went to Todd Farm last week at 6AM and was shut out. Nothing. You did great. Glad to see you back....Doug

Hey Doug, thanks, I was in Hollis, very similar to Todd's, but smaller, Todd's is only 15 minutes away from me, Hollis takes about 45 minutes. It was definitely worth the trip.
I usually find one good telephone in a trip, I was pleasantly surprised with the haul.
