Wow!  Where and how did you find these treasures?

Thanks Doug.
Whenever I find these deals, it is always when I least expect them. I'm usually hoping to find a rare phone for sale, but it never happens when I am thinking that. My strategy is to just search as many different areas as possible, not just the local listings. Other than that, I think I am just really lucky, so I can't give much help with that
You have added the wrong links to your post though, so that needs to be fixed

Yes indeed.
As a new collector the $40 price range is very inspiring to me!

Profile says 14.
True or not, wish I got that much pocket money when I was 14.

At 14, I was working after school at First National, which was a Grocery Chain that competed with Stop & Shop.

Stop & Shop is now a Huge Chain, FNS is log gone. ...Doug

Those are great finds & beautiful restoration. When I was 14, the 500 was still in service (it was only 12 years old) & the other 2 were just old phones, not vintage or classic.
