27 voters in the Find of the YEAR Contest so far. I would sure like to see this annual version of the contest get to at least mid 30's or even 40 voters. Lots of work (mostly done by John) to put it together so please take a couple of minutes to help make one of your favourites the winner!

That's it for the "Find of the YEAR" competition for 2017!

There were plenty of great contestants since each one of them had already won a Find of the Month competition throughout the year. Everyone had good numbers of votes showing that they were all valid "Finds" but that said, it was really a Runaway win for Gary Millam and his WE Blue 302 found on ETSY For only $65.00 plus $10.40 shipping.

Congratulations to Gary and your terrific find from everyone here at the. Lassis Rotary Phone Forum. And thanks to everyone who voted as well as to everyone who had an item in any of the Find of the Month contests through 2017.

Below is your "Find of the YEAR" trophy that John "TelePlay" slaved away for most of the year manufacturing in his very extensive metal, wood, plastic & electrical work shops located behind the hidden door in the back of the pantry cupboard just off of his kitchen! Thanks John!

Here is the "Find of the Month - Winners List" for all contests to date:

Congratulations Gary!  That was a great find.  It makes the rest of us want to keep looking for that elusive "blue 302".

Congratulations too to all of the other 11 entries.  All very nice finds.  It's the hunt, the hunt.........
