"A website created as a memorial to the people, history, technology and the "Spirit of Service" of what was known as the "Bell System" prior to 1984."

Cool...

"You see, this phone system consists of a multibillion-dollar matrix of space age technology that is so sophisticated even we can't handle it. But that's your problem, isn't it? So, the next time you complain about your phone service, why don't you try using two Dixie cups with a string? We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company."

Wanted

Good price paid for accumulations and estates of vintage mechanical watch and pocketwatch material and parts. Pre-quartz, pre-battery, Elgin and other American brands in particular, Swiss material less so. Note that I am a watchmaker working to keep the craft alive and well, I am not an antique dealer looking to buy and resell.
