In 1965 After I had worked a year for the telephone co my wife decided that she would buy me a old telephone as a christmas gift. It was a 1896 L.M.Ericcson wall phone. I did a small restoral on that phone and I thought this is fun, I should buy another phone. 200+ phones later and I am running out of room. Some of the phones were basket cases or barn fresh, thanks to the Antique Telephone Collectors Association I have located many original parts for these telephones.

   Wow! Fantastic Collection!..... Just showed this to my husband. Now I'm inspired to motivate him to organize some of his collections... maybe we'll start with his guitars... something to display. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration!

   Thanks to all you collectors who have left very nice comments. telephones are my labor of love. Iam working on two phone right now one is wood and the other is a payphone. I will install the payphone in my daughter's bedroom for when she makes those long distance calls it will cost her 25 cents every 3 min!!!!!

    Reed, I don't think Qwest Communications could put enought ringing power to ring all two hundred phones. I do have selected phones to ring. thanks for the comment.
