I really wanted to buy the WE554 wall phone. The others will be gifts to my sisters.

All work great and  are clean and complete ;one is a Kellogg/Itt with a replaced ringer! from 1970 the other is a Stromberg Carlson from 1962 with a replaced fingerwheel. I will do the pink  dye cord treatment and these will be as good as new.

Thanks, it cost the guy $18 to ship them, so he only netted $7. Nice guy too and he packed them like fine china.

That's a remarkable buy Dan.  You were in the right place at the right time.  It's difficult to believe someone would list all three of those together for that price.

Dan

Those buy it nows are lucky indeed. Who got the black mushroom a few months ago for like $45 or so?
