| THIS IS ME WITH MY FIRST ANTIQUE PHONE. I GOT IT AS A TEEN FROM AN ANTIQUE STORE IN INTERCOURSE PA. I PAID $40 FOR IT WITH THE RINGER BOX. |
 |
| BACK IN 1990 I BUILT THIS SHOW CASE FOR MY TELEPHONE COLLECTION, YES AT THAT TIME THIS WAS MY COLLECTION. I ALSO JOINED THE ATCA AND TCI AT THAT TIME. |

| MY HOBBY, I COLLECT AND RESTORE ANTIQUE TELEPHONES AND PAYPHONES. FOR WHAT EVER REASON I HAVE HAD AN INTEREST IN TELEPHONES SINCE I WAS A KID. I BECAME REAL SERIOUS ABOUT IT AROUND 1990 AND AT THAT TIME JOINED THE TELEPHONE COLLECTING CLUBS (LINKS TO THEIR SITES ARE ON MY HOME PAGE) I FOUND THEM TO BE A GREAT RESOURCE NOT ONLY FOR FINDING PHONES, PARTS AND INFORMATION BUT ALSO FOR MAKING FRIENDS. I HAVE SERVED AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE ATCA AND AM PRESENTLY ON THE BOARD. |
