Morphy Auctions October 14 - 15, 2011 Friday

General Antiques, October 14 - October 15, 2011 Daniels collection of antique and vintage telephones will keep collectors "engaged," Oct. 14-15 at Morphy's A large percentage of the world's population has never even seen a dial-face telephone, but that certainly wasn't the case with the late Bill Daniels. The massive collection of antique and vintage phones that filled his home comprised a chronological archive of Alexander Graham Bell's 1876 invention and contained models ranging from primitive turn of the 20th century curiosities to ultra-cool mid-century designs. A premier assemblage, the Daniels collection has been consigned to Morphy Auctions, where it will be apportioned into three subsequent General Antiques auctions, the first of which will take place on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15, 2011. The phones will open the second session. "Many of Bill Daniels' phones were displayed at museums or shows, but he was always a buyer, hardly ever a seller," said Morphy Auctions CEO Dan Morphy. "Bill worked for AT&T's long distance division until his retirement at age 52, so telephones were always a big part of his life." Daniels' widow, Dorothy, said her husband started picking up old phones at flea markets, tag sales and church sales, later expanding his hunt to collector shows dedicated exclusively to telephones. "As his collection grew, he started thinking about the idea of a museum, so in addition to phones, he started buying phone booths, telegraphs, intercoms and other phone-related items," Mrs. Daniels said. One of Bill Daniels' favorite pieces was his Watts & Co. coffin phone, which gets its name because of its distinctive shape. It is offered in the Oct. 14-15 auction with a $10,000-$20,000 estimate. Other highlights include a Western Electric magneto wall cabinet set, est. $7,000-$10,000...view more information on our website.
