New member here.  I am not a phone collector but my husband and I used to collect unique vintage items for our rec room. We've had this phone for about 30 years.  It is wired to work.  Not sure if it is valuable and would like to poss sell it in the future but not a clue how much it could be worth.

Hi and welcome to CRPF.

Values depend much on originality. Many of these were adapted after market for home use.

Could you add photos of the rear of phone, also of the inside.

If you plan on selling it locally (Facebook Marketplace, etc) the going price ranges from $175 - $300 for that type of payphone. I would list it for $325 OBO (or best offer) and "haggle" a little; people really like that! And, right now would be a perfect time to sell it; Christmas and all.....Good luck!

Thanks for your response. Here are a few more pics of the back and inside.

Would be nice to see a clearer photo of that label in the second image, could you please add.

Nice One. It appears to be all original right down to the installers label! Great catch. I would agree with Ray, list it at $325.00 take around $250.00.
BTW - Welcome to the forum ;D

Thanks so much for the info :)
Am I right that it is from the 50's?

LPC is the last 3 slot series  .Late 60s-early 70s..Outside the same as sets form about 1958 up.

Agreed, that AE circuit board is newer than 50's.
