I have a small collection of older telephones from Old wooden Farm House Magneto types to brass candlesticks with and without dials as well as telephones from the 1940's and 1950's. I would like to join some local groups with simlar interests. The Pittsburgh Trbune- Review ran a wonderful article on February 12, 2011, on a local genrleman's collection of candlestick telephones. Check out this article if you get a chance.

I have an Ericsson crank phone that we believe was salvaged from a ship-wrecking yard in Bilbao,Spain. It is a large wooden box with a hinge at the top and a metal lining and it has two rubber sound tubes for speaking and listening that exit the bottom of the box. The internals are all there as far as I can tell including a working magneto and bells. Can anyone tell us about this model? We have found nothing about it online so far.

I never thought of myself as a "serious" collector, but my collection is suddenly growing more and more. I enjoy the old telephones (and radios) because they remind me of the time when we manufactured GREAT quality products in THIS country that lasted for years! I enjoy this site and hope to learn more about the history of these wonderful antique telephones. Sincerely, Nick Monteparo, Melbourne, Florida.

I am brand new to telephone collecting and very grateful to the veteran collectors for their generous sharing of information. It gives me the confidence to try things knowing I can check in with the experts when I need a hand.

Bought my first pay phone a few days ago. It's a Western Electric 233g. All internal parts seem to be in place. I'm looking forward to restoring it back to its original state. Needs vault door and ringer box. Also looking for a key to 10H upper lock. I have already disassembled the entire phone. I'm considering sending the phone cases (upper and lower) Phone co inc for painting. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
