Wanted
I am always on the look out for early phones to add to my collection. Even damaged and incomplete ones have a use, either as restoration projects or as a source of spare parts. As mentioned elsewhere, I am a member of the WAHTS so, if I don't have a need for it, I can pass it on to other members. Please drop me a line before you throw anything out. I once met a lady who picked up a very nice 1920s British Ericsson wall phone from a Council kerbside rubbish pile! If it wasn't for her sharp eyes it would be lost forever.
I am particularly interested in early "pre-plastic" Australian phones but will look at anything slightly interesting. A few examples of some desirable styles are shown below. If you have something that may be suitable please contact me with some details and I'll get back to you asap. Thank you.
