We have been buying/restoring/selling and collecting all manner of Antique Telephones for well over 20 years now ( this being my husbands part of the business ~ DEJA VU ANTIQUES ) you may have seen our advert in Period Living Magazine from which we have run a successful telephone mail order business from their first issue back in 1990..... which really began as an extension of our Antiques Shop and as our own personal collection of antique telephones grew far too large !!
