I started collecting phones when I was 9 years old, I worked for Illinois Bell in High School as an apprentice in the mid' 80's during divestiture. I am now Treasurer of Telephone Collectors International and The Curator Consultant of The Hawthorne Museum, a tribute to the Hawthorne works of Western Electric. My life is phones. I have MANY western electric products, and worked on most of the equipment..

It was big and bulky, but it worked. and I miss it..

I'm glad to be here
