    Hi there! This query doesn't relate to mobiles but rather their predecessors! I work in a museum and we recently unearthed a box of old telephones (landlines) from c.1990s. They appear to all be in fair condition but we have no use for them here.
    Does anyone know what the best course of action to take with them? It seems a shame to dump them, but they may be of no use to anyone.
    We also found old calculators and 'adding machines'

    Thanks!

    Well and good for the tree huggers but for example some of my phones are worth up to 1500 a piece due to being rare or unable to purchase entire collection worth a small fortune of which i would certainly donate a protion to a good cause. There is phones out there worth nothing and then collectors items worth a packet.

    Did you even read the original post? It was specifically stated that the "query doesn't relate to mobiles"
