Ed, Thanks for the links. I know about those folks, as they are all members of the ATCA, as am I. (member #1783)

Collectors all know the value (or perceived inflated value) of these antiques. That's why I occasionally ask among the non-collectors, hoping to find someone who doesn't think they have the rarest telephone ever made.

I offer a fair price for things that I have no intention of selling, unlike some of the so-called collectors who are just in it for the $.
