The best selection of telephones for sale can be seen after re-stocking on a Saturday morning. There are also "SPECIAL PRICE" bargains to be seen in the shop.
Weekend opening times are 10.00 to 12.00 on Saturday and Sunday.
I am open 10.00am to 5.30pm 7 days a week with sales and assistance from the antiques centre staff. But I am there only at the weekends.

I now have a small selection of collectors telephones on display. These are mainly of a "one off" nature and are "sold as seen".

There are workshop facilities are at the Battlesbridge shop. I may be able to convert or repair your telephone while you wait.

I usually only sell restored telephones. But I do also have large stocks of telephones for sale that can be restored to order. All the telephones in this web site are in stock, but most will be waiting for restoration. It is always worth enquiring, if the telephone you are seeking cannot be seen on my pages.
