Thanks.
The Ivory Muraphone is really nice. That was not a bargain find - I did have to pay about the right money for it.

Sometimes that happens. But we go for it and adore them just the same.  :)
The lucky low priced finds balance them out.  :D

It was £275 in 2013 (approx US$360 at today's exchange rate).

I think it was about right. It was a case of having the money available and the phone being there to buy - so I did.

Superb collection! Most of my regrets while collecting telephones are the about the phones I didn't get when I had the chance. Nicely done.

Agreed...I am still cursed by the memory of a Pink and a Lavender PERFECT AE 40s sitting side by side in an antique store at least 35 years ago. At the time I had no idea what an AE40 was. Long before I found the ATCA and long before the internet. Of course, they were $300 each and that was a huge amount for a phone back then....still is....Doug
