I'll start my collection off with my clear, see-though or transparent phones. Not sure of what the manufactures formal name is for the non-colour.

1) 1958 Western Electric clear 500 F-53115

2) 1989 Northern Telecom clear Solo (Changed gray handset cord for a clear one.)

3) 1982 Northern Electric clear 2500 e-Phone

WE used the term clear. I suspect Northern did as well.

ITT/Kellogg and SC used the term clear.

I haven't come across the term for smoke tint yet. You may find it in reference to WE Telstar telephones.

I cleaned out a extra room in the basement that we had been using for storage. I have made it into a phone room and have been slowly moving the phones out of the garage. It is starting to come together. A lot of the big pieces will have to stay in the garage. I guess that means I officially have two man caves. Here is a little tour of what I have done so far.

Wow, Doug that is really nice work there. Some real creativity and art in the display ideas. I really like the old NE wooden crate as well!

Yes you do, I'm not finished moving pieces from the garage yet. And then there is still my trailer. I have phones that are still packed in boxes.

That's not mine. It is for a fellow collector, it was picked up in Montreal. I'm just storing it until he picks it up sometime in August.
