Calling all telephone enthusiasts! Here is a guide to more than two hundred novelty telephones, as well as miniature and toy telephones. Novelty telephones are one of the hottest and most affordable collectibles to hit the collecting scene in recent years. Character telephones, telephone advertising products, and figural-type phones are all in demand. Starting in the '70s, these telephones were produced to promote company products, television shows, comic strips, comic books, cartoons, movies, recording artists, and sports. Miniature and toy telephones are highly desired by many antique telephone collectors and both are included in this enjoyable book. Descriptive captions list each phone's specific features. A guide to current prices is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very informative and well put together book,
By Kathy Davis (davis.kathy@usa.net) (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collectible Novelty Phones: If Mr. Bell Could See Me Now (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
James David Davis did an excellent job of putting together information for the novelty phone collector. Great pictures along with clear, concise information make this book a must-have for anyone who collects novelty phones. I refer to this book almost daily! It's very well thought out, with different chapters and categories which make it extremely easy to use and reference. It covers not only working phones, but also phone collectibles, such as miniatures, and toy phones as well. With the limited amount of reference books out there geared toward the novelty phone collector, it is very refreshing to not only have this book available, but also have it written by someone who is himself a novelty phone enthusiast. I am looking forward to his next book.
