Great deal in Albany (Oregon) for a pristine Galion!

[Greg G.]

Too far for me, even if I used Mom's place in Vancouver (Washington) as a jumping off point, otherwise I would snatch it up.

Vintage 1955 North Electric Rotary Dial Phone "Patent USA" - $29 (Scio)

1955 North Electric "Patented USA"

Rotary Dial Phone

Made in Galion, Ohio



Please take a look at this nice phone with its long sloping sides, the unique handset shape with canted ears, the exquisite vents in the back. Putting this delicate phone into a package it creates a work of art. The phone has Patented USA stamped into it on the back side.

In the earlier years models were made of metal housings but this is of a HEAVY BAKELITE. The bottom is metal.

I am unable to test it, but over-all the phone is in very nice condition. The plastic cover up located in the center of the finger wheel is missing. A very easy find for replacing.

If you are interested, please call 503-394-4040. I will meet you in Albany for pick-up.

Briny's Mom's "Vancouver" is SW Washington where as the likely more well known Vancouver is SW British Columbia Canada. It isn't that far though, a bit under 300 miles.

Now who's going for a drive to Albany (near Vancouver) for the Galion (from Ohio)?

Glad somebody here was able to get it!  I drove to the Eugene area one time for some phones, but that was an entire collection.

Just across the river (Columbia) from Portland (Oregon, not Maine).

Good thing I know the difference between the Vancouver's, Albany's, Portland's, Salem's and others.  There is another Walla Walla, and I think it is in Australia.

I was hoping it was in the state of Western Australia, then it would be Walla Walla, WA, but it's in New South Wales.

Shouldn't have to worry about making a wrong turn and landing there on the way home.
