    Phone Collectors Visit Collectors Weekly, Show Off 1897 Candlestick Facsimile – Wow!

    The Northern California Telephone Collector Show is taking place in San Jose as we speak. Gary Goff and John Infurna stopped by our San Francisco office yesterday to show us a very special potbelly candlestick phone. Learn more about it! “No one’s going to use this,” John says, even though his phone, wired to the original manufacturer’s specifications, works. “This is going to sit on a perfume shelf. It’s going to be moved around to different perfume shelves from here until eternity.”
