Another masterpiece from Ray. They just keep getting better and better. With all the time and parts used, I don't see a lot of profit, but it certainly is an eye catcher.

Ray is the master of creating old phones NEW again....Doug

Thanks guys!  ;-)

It helps when I have been going to phone shows for 25 yrs and collecting broken examples for parts. I still have 4 or 5 of these parts phones, and many others that I have yet to tackle.
The next one that I would like to do is the AE Model 4A in colors. Then there's the AE Model #2. Imagine an AE #2 in AE Royal Blue with Chrome trim! I dream about that one!

For the record:I think Ray's Creations are very intense.  It is a whole different playing field we you strive to recreate the past.
I know the process isn't easy or cheap. Ray strives to keep things authentic, at a level most of us would't attempt.
Please remember this regarding Ray's creations.
Hat's off to you Ray
JMO,

It's beautiful.  It is a work of art, and I'm glad to see that it fetched a good price.
