I've bought a lot of my antiques at Canton, Tx, and that's one of them. I worked and worked trying to talk the vendor into coming down on the price. I finally did after several days......a whole $5!!!!

I have one of those phones too Diana. Our neighbors (both now deceased) had this phone in there home when the telephone company here started. It was their first phone in this house. It worked up until the phone company upgraded. All the insides are still there.

Ruth passed away quite a few years ago and then when Dick passed, they held an auction. It's so great that I have something of one of the best neighbors you could ask for. Dick was a prankster so it's so fun to relive some of the memories of him and his wife.

Well shoot, I'm going to go ahead and tell you one: I had four wooden ducks out in my yard, the mama and 3 babies. Well one morning I walked out to get the mail. On my way back to the house there were my ducks....... and 3 yellow rubber duckies following behind them. I thought what the heck!!!! Where did those come from. I left them there, but it took months before Dick fessed up to it. He and Ruth had been out shopping and he just couldn't resist playing a trick on me. He even kept a straight face everytime we mentioned to him that we still couldn't figure out who did it. What a character!!
