Okay, I've sold probably as many as I have left and it'll probably continue that way because I always need to sell one to afford another it seems. Just about every phone I have is pictured here except a AE Black type 43 and the WE 410 with a Thermoplastic housing, so makes 24 phones not counting several unrestored phones in the shop still.
As follows: AE34, AE40, AE50, AE35, AE183, AE83.

Here's the next few as follows: AE83, RTT56, Leich 62,SC 1243, SC 1272, Ivory WE302,

And again some more, as follows: WE464 HC, WE460 GC,

Some pretty swell phones you have!  If you can only keep one, keep the AE type 34, the Shirley Temple phone.

Less is More.  :)

Better to keep the collection smaller and neater than have too many phones cluttered together ending up on the floor.

You have chosen nice models for the 'keepers'. Bakelite Keysets are amongst my favourites (never seen one, I'd be tempted to add one of those to the collection too).
A collector of  'Monochrome Phones with Sepia Tones'   ...and a Duck!

Thank you Mike, That ones certainly on the list but, I'm afraid there are several others that qualify as well.
It be hard to choose, hope I never have to because I'm afraid they'd all have to go.

Thank you too CJ,Can't imagine having the funds to purchase so many that they had to be on the floor, LOL!
I'm really into the older key sets now and maybe some day if I get real lucky I'll be able to afford a small 1A and a 1A2 key system to put them all to work.
