    Hi all I have( well my husband to be presice!!)what I think is an old Siemens phone or phone testing kit its in a wooden box really can't make head nor tail of it. I also have what appears to be some form of Morse code machine its in a wooden casing also looks very old though I've no idea ..
    I can post pics if necessary.. wondering if someone can point me on the right direction as to where to go to get valued if they even worth anything that is.!!
    Apologies if this is in the wrong place im totally clueless about antiques.

    On your phone, touch.boards.ie
    1. click post reply
    2. Enter some text and click add attachments
    3. You may be asked to allow your browser to access your gallery, say yes.
    4. Click on documents, then recent
    5. The should be a three bars icon in the upper left, click it and choose gallery
    6. Select your photo, and click reply.

    The second one looks like a variable resistor.
    Ohms at 18c on written on the top?

    Philip Harris resistance box. There's a few on eBay.

    I think the Siemens one is a crystal radio set.

    You would get nothing for them from a dealer. Adverts.ie or eBay but check for similar stuff first.
