About Us
What started out as wanting one for my kitchen has turned into a passion.
I bought a phone on Ebay and it didn't work. I did not have a clue of what to do to make it come alive. After much time and money to make it work, I was hooked and started on a new hobby. Unfortunately, I had spent more money than it was worth, but after all, it was working!
I purchased a few more, being more savvy I thought, then had the idea to refinish them. Being lucky to have acquired many of them at one time and learning more along the way about how they worked and the history behind them, well, it was a natural combination for me.
I learned plenty, and still am, from the old timers who used to work for the telephone companies and other collectors, and some very smart folks who saw the value in preserving this part of history.
Every phone is carefully refurbished to new, but still has the look and feel of being old and priceless. At no time are replica parts used or any modifications made to the original design.
They really are antiques and vintage Americana. That is my passion and promise.
