My Husband's Hobby



Husband collects antique and vintage telephones. We have around 100 of them. Wall phones, wooden phones, brass phones, candlestick phones. Almost any phones you notice in show shots from Sam Bass Theater are from his collection. We have a brass phone in the form of an elephant. We have military phones. We have one that supposedly belonged to Stalin. In the collection are several from foreign countries. Besides the Russian one, we have phones from China, Spain, Denmark, France, England and Canada.

His collection spans from very early wooden wall phones to about the 1940's. I have acquired a few from the fifties on, as I thought they were interesting. More pics will follow.
