However, the gold that is in those old Western Electric phones is worth worth more then the phone itself. Because of the amount of gold in each phone is why the phone was owned by Ma Bell and only rented to the customer And I guess my mom was right, when I get back to pennsylvania i'm gonna go up in her attic and clean them off for her. My mother deals with antiques all day that's her thing. I gotta get my son start packing, early in the morning, we got a 6 hours flight from California to Pennsylvania. I'm gonna call her in the morning, before I get on my flight I'll let her know....Thanks 🙂 Edited December 27, 2025 by biglou1985

Built to last forever. Residential phones were not affected by power outages either. ☎️ The telephones actually worked during power outages due to their own power supply thru the phone lines

It's a rare RED phone I know my sister lives in west hollywood. That's why i'm trying to get the hell out of here. I don't like it in California I mean it's a lot of nice looking women out here, but I don't like California. Came out here to celebrate Christmas with my sister and her boyfriend. I had a nice time with them. But it's time for me to go home, my son's out here talk about he wants to transfer to another school out here. He has no idea how much money his mother and I pay for his tuition. 😃 2

I know he just haven't seen his cousins in a long time. And besides, I wouldn't let him do it anyway. That school costs a lot of money, with the room board food and he's 6ft 8'/ 260 lbs and he eats a lot. 1
