Customer Reviews

excellent photos but dubious information and prices

kate has taken some beautiful photos of actual collections; however, she tends to believe whatever prices or information someone gives her; for example the 5302 set is described as being between manufactured between the 302 and the 500; if the 302 was made from 1937 to 1952 and the 500 from 1950 to 1985 i'm not sure how the 5302 could be between them; in any case the 5302 was REMANUFACTURED from old 302 sets between about 1956 and 1965; also she gives a value of $5 to the clear Stromberg-Carlson 1212; these are only two examples,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, e has taken beautiful pictures of actual collections;

A definitive guide for collectors.

Although there is no index, it is arranged by types of phones, such as wooden, pay phones, candlesticks, novelty, etc. Also includes chapters on memorabilia, companies, and includes historical information on the first telephones. Lots of photos
