![]() The wall phone with photos I had printed and framed |
![]() I purchased this phone from Mr.Bowman about 1954 for $3.00 and had it hooked up with phone that was in my shack at the back of our property, a phone in the store and another phone at the Disneys that Bruce had obtained from his uncle. We had our own phone system. It has all its components and is operational, all it needs is batteries. |
