Roots: Born in a small rural Alabama town.
Joined the US Marines in 1961 at age 17, spent 6 years as an Air Borne Navigator, mostly in C-130's at Cherry Point, NC &
Iwakuni, Japan. Spent the next 33 years with the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air Traffic Controller all over
the Southeast, retiring in North Carolina.
I have collected old stuff since I was 11 years old and
am still going strong 55 years later. I started with stamps, moved to coins, and by the time I was in my early 20's,
I was collecting telephones. I have been fortunate enough to assemble a small collection of rare and wonderful
old phones from the pre-1900's. As my collector interest changed over the years, I moved into other areas, including Cash
Registers, Slot Machines, Penny Arcade, Gum Ball and other Coin Op collectibles. I also like Firefighting collectibles, Music
Boxes and Phonographs, Carousel Horses, and Barber Shop stuff. I never lost interest in telephones and today, they are still
my main interest.

I am always looking for quality items that fall within my areas
of interest. I mostly buy and trade, but occasionally sell. Should you have anything that you consider odd or unusual in any
of these areas and wish to dispose of them, I would appreciate your contacting me through the email link located on each page.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.
