My PTT 24 unfortunately has a 1960s dial on it.

glad to hear that your phones are put into use. i use mine in rotation too, but as i have only nine, they tend to come round a bit quicker than in your case.

i just did a search on 'french ptt24 phone' and came up with a photo of an old french dial card. well, the pic is from this forum........from wds.

the instructions on it are nice and specific ............

in responding to all calls, announce :  "i'm here......i'm listening !"


Almost, it says Ici followed by the number space. Ici (lit here) means I´m here when said separately. In this case you were supposed to insert the subscribtion number. So the translation would be: this is 235984, I´m listening.
Groeten,

Larry,

I like your Ericofons, and how they are displayed. Seperately?

You have a very nice clock collection too, I've wanted to buy an old wall clock I can hang in my bedroom or shop, but I've never gotten around to getting one.

Since someone mentioned clocks, here are some pictures from last summer of the Telechron shelves.  They have be rearranged slightly since then.

Love Telechrons!  I see you have the Pharoah and the Iris...two of my favorites!

I have said this before and I need to repeat it again: the best phones are located in Michigan.

I've never seen a phone collection with only 1/6th of the phones being Western Electric. :o Nice collection, keep it up!

I probably have about three different faces and a variety of dates, but I was looking more for the colors.

I had missed that you put a telephone collection display topic together. I must have been on a cruise at the time. I think I can detect some strain on some of your shelves! That means you can only fit a few more onto each shelf before risk of collapse.

Great collection and display Larry!
