Telephones, Clocks, Lamps

I always wanted a phone made out of an actual full sized Riddell Helmet, but the prices I saw on Ebay were always too high....and then, I got lucky.

I won an auction on a phone that was actually used at Madison Square Garden on April 28-29, 1987 for the NFL Draft (Certificate of Authenticity)...The Bears drafted Jim Harbaugh in Round One and Ron Morris in Round Two. The phones provided that day were made by Nardi Enterprises, Inc. and each team was provided only ONE! Some other teams phones were auctioned in the $1,000 - $3,000 range....I lucked out at around $100.00...

Here are a couple of phones that I actually use.....


My birthday was last week and my wife bought me a nice digital scoreboard clock...Needless to say, I LIKE IT! It took some wall rearranging, but of course I was able to do it. I also have a rigid plastic "pennant shaped clock" and a regular round clock...plus an alarm clock (not pictured) and a half dozen different wristwatches (also not shown at this time)




I really had no intention of ever collecting lamps, but they ARE functional. If you pay close attention to some of the "room" pictures you will see them. I have three. One is a made from a 1983 "Huddles" Teddy Bear and another appears to have a late 1970's plastic Bobblehead as a base. I also have this new 17" touch lamp.

And, have I mentioned my latest compulsion.....NIGHT LIGHTS....LOL




I also have lighted pens and a lighted mug. I can put on quite the light show without conventional lighting.....
