Keystone Telephone Pay Station Die Cut used on telephone booths
Welcome to my web site on Antique Telephones, signs, memorabilia and other items that pertain to the early days of communication. This site is a composite of different items that I have been collection going on 25+yrs.
I became interested in collecting especially telephones while I was working for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. in Salina, Kansas around 1978. I started out collecting old wooden wall phones, candlestick phones and some signs. After seeing a friends huge and mostly mint telephone sign collection, my passion and enthusiasm for them flourished and now my sign collection is larger than my phone collection. I can never rival my friends great collection, but I am proud of what I've been able to put together.
Enjoy the following pages and if you have any questions please feel free to email me. I'll try to answer them the best that I can.
