Recently acquired by accident a WE 302 Old Rose in working order. Even has a button to turn the ringer on or off. Has fired an interest in old phones. My father, granfather and two uncles worked for Illinois bell from about 1910 to 1980. I guess it's in my genes!

my father saved an 1879 top box or wall
set from a fire in 1978 at the time it was almost 100 years old. The Grandkids
and GreatGrand kids believe it's something Dad built. But I know better I
remember when it came home. When we where grounded Dad said this is the only phone you my use. Ha Ha. Have a great day

I will probably get some nasty comments from this story. Iwas working on a toll line north of Ponca City, Ok. in 1947, the lines had several birds resting on them going across a busy highway. One of the wires that had the birds, I reached up and pulled it down as tight as I could pull it, and then let go, there was dead birds from broken necks falling all over the highway almost causing a wreck.

Wonderful site-I was with Ohio Bell/Ameritech/SBC thru 2004. The Bell System was the finest organization to work for-Can't say the same for SBC
