So im in the process of moving north to help out my grandparents,  and My grandpa knows im into old telephones.  Well it turns out my great grandpa who recently died at age 105 worked for the Michigan Telephone company from 1930-1950.  And grandpa says in his workshop there are some early rotary phones, Candlestick,  stuff with subsets that kind of thing.   And he said I could have whatever I find if I help him clean it out.    Im stoked!

Good luck with the move!

I'd be very interested to see what old phones he has, it is always cool to get something that has some sentimental value.

I hope you find something good! Remember to post pictures if you find any sticks or really cool phones!!!
