walshie 2,804 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I was doing a bit of cabling in the loft earlier and found a box with 7 old candlestick phones in, complete with 7 wooden bellboxes and 7 pairs of bells. They're in a poor state, but then they are probably knocking on for 100 years old. They don't even have a dial on. Does anyone know if they're worth anything, or is it skip time?

C556 351 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I dunno how much they're worth but I bet you'll make more than you expect if you stick them on eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get them on one at a time, if the price starts dropping. Stop for 6 months. Some more. http://www.britishtelephones.com/bellst1.htm TC Edited August 26, 2016 by Tiercel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
