Description: This is a great phone with original paint and all the parts! It has some ring marks on the upper part of the transmitter cup that do not really distract from the overall appearance I stumbled onto a hoard of telephones that had been sitting for at least 40 years. It was the remains of an old privately owned telephone company, but has a lot of diverse items like a collector would have. Turns out, IT IS both! This collector owned Mustang Telephone Company which is the island where Port Aransas Texas is located. In the 1960's to the 1980's it was a sleepy fishing village until today it is a booming tourist town!! These phones were moved to Oklahoma near 2010 when the company was sold and his passing around 2012 as best as I can tell. This collection was being sold to the local scrape metal dealer who saw that it was more that scape metal and I was in the right place at the right time!!! It includes over 400 telephones from Western Electric, Automatic Electric, Kellogg, Stromberg Carlson, American Electric, United Electric or Utica Electric, Gray Pay Stations and many others that I haven't gotten to. Including pay phones, desk phones and wall phones from 1898 to 1980! Also thousands of parts for all phones and test equipment from all era's. Wood, metal and bakelite are all going to be listed eventually. Yes, I am keeping some of them!! Most will be auction style and start at a price that I think will be undervalued! I will be selling most of them as found with all the dust they came with. I will describe visible problems that you should be able to see from the pictures. If parts are missing, I will attempt to find them. When I list them, they will be as complete as I can make them. If you have special request I will try to get that listed, but I expect to be overwhelmed so please be patient. During this world medical emergency, I have to rely on family to mail for me, so I have a 10 business day handling time. We are beating that but you should be aware and please don't bid if that is in any way a problem for you. Thanks PLEASE LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any questions please ask.
