Testimonials
Here are what some of our customers have said about us
Sir:
Recently I bought a leather bottom for a 202 from you. I attached it and to me it is much more authentic than felt. I was very pleased with it.
More recently I purchased a 302 from you which arrived yesterday. It's not only beautiful, but guess what? It actually WORKS!!! Thank you so much!
This is the FOURTH phone I've purchased though eBay. The first, a 202 took me over two weeks of sending first the received cap, then disconnecting the phone from the sub set, and sending the phone itself back. Finally the phone came back to me and finally it worked.
The second was a 302 which arrived, looked very nice, and didn't work as was claimed. Rather than send it back (my choice) the seller gave me a partial refund. It's in a storeroom in my home.
The third is a 302 which looks nice but didn't work the minute I plugged it in. I'm in the process of mailing it back for a full refund.
So the point is, THANK YOU. I will not be buying any more telephones unless I buy them from YOU, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your expertise and selling products that live up to their descriptions on eBay. Can you imagine how frustrating all this has been for me?
Have a great day, and thanks again.

Mark,
I just received the candlestick phone back that I sent for restoration. You really have outdone yourself on this one. You have restored many phones for us in the past and do beautiful work. But I cant believe my eyes. The nickle plating and the green cords are exactly what I wanted. I cant thank you enough

Old Phone shop,
A friend of mine referred me to you a while back. I've been a steady customer for a few years. You have always managed to come up with any part I needed, even when others failed. I received the 1937 Western Electric 302 today and I want to tell you that I am extremely happy. I plan on ordering another telephone from you very shortly. Possibly a payphone, as your payphones appear to be the best I've ever seen. I will send you some pictures of our phone display shortly

Mark -
I just received the phone/lamp restored by you. Wow! What a superb restoration. I could talk about the attention to detail, the flawless painting, the cloth cords and the value add retro bulb (that I was not expecting nor would I have even thought of.) All that you delivered, and more - truly value laden "plus." But, what I am really thinking right now involves for me a personal walk down memory lane. I'm thinking about being raised by loving parents in a home that included an old candlestick "lamp phone." Just the sight of your phone is bringing back to me a flood of positive memories. Ironically, my mother, Lucille Jakel Stiner, who just passed away on Christmas day 2016 was raised in Baron, Wisconsin. She was a nurse in World War II having been trained at Saint Joseph's Nursing School in Marshfield, Wisconsin. That is how she met my father. Although she did not reside in Wisconsin after World War II, my fondness for the State of Wisconsin is made even greater due to the work you have done. I may not have my parents any longer, but I have a beautiful token of them in this phone. Your craftsmanship is helping me enjoy a very special and Merry Christmas 2017.
Best wishes to you and your family and thank you so much.

Hi Mark,
Just a quick note to tell you guys how pleased I am with the phone I purchased from you. You shipped quickly, the package came in perfect condition and the phone is everything I expected.
I have attached a photo of the phone installed in it’s new home. The phone was very easy to install and with the addition of the pulse to digital converter you suggested, the phone worked perfectly out of the box for both incoming and outgoing calls.
Thanks for helping me include this amazing new feature that adds so much more character to my garage. I will certainly tell anyone that is looking for a vintage phone to check out your website before going anywhere else.
Thanks again! Regards,
Mike Steele
Hi Mark,
Just got the phone about two hours ago. It looks awesome; it was going to be a Christmas present for my wife. But, you can guess who walked in the room as I was taking it out of the box. Yea, it was her she went nuts over it. It is already on a phone stand in our living room. Guess I’ll have to find something for her to open on Christmas day…..
Thanks again,
