The One that Got Me Started

[bigdaddylove]

Hi,

I am new to the forum so I thought I would create a post regarding my garage sale find that got me interested in old phones.

This is my WE 302 with the original dial card for my town's exchange. I bought it for $15.00 about 15 years ago. It used to be a daily user then was put up. After years of collecting dust, I brought it out again, cleaned it up a bit and is now located on my side of the couch.

This recent activity got me interested in old phones once again and has resulted in me cruising craigslist and ebay for a nice 202. I have recently purchased a WE 211 with a 684a subset from ebay for 49.99 plus shipping. It needs to be slightly rewired and then will be placed in my office next to my art deco desk. Once that's done and the office cleaned, I'll post some pictures.

Take care,
BDL
