is it bad
that I can tell which photos are from american publications and which are british based purely on the phone?
And I'm disproportionately excited to see a couple of GPO Tele 706s in there?
Edit:
706: telefonosexy.tumblr.com/image/35137493083 although it's dial has been replaced at some point (it's got a 706L dial plate but a 706F finger plate) telefonosexy.tumblr.com/image/34968319199 has the right dial/finger plate combination
Unusual 706 with a clear button telefonosexy.tumblr.com/image/34967320276 I thought that style of button was only fitted to 746s!

Is anyone else interested in this stuff? If so, Gaz me.

It's not bad, it's absolutely awesome. There should be some european ones in there too.
I would love to label them all but I lack the knowledge.

I think
I can spot a couple of french and at least one german phone - but euro phones aren't really my area either.

Oh plenty
Most of the square plastic buttons-are-in-the-handset are too plentiful to be easily identifyable, some are 1980s repos of earlier styles of phone (and again there were too many of those on the market to confidently identify them) and most of those which are obviously american are hard for me to identify as it's not really my area.
There are a lot of western electric 500 style phones in there too.
There's one Bakelite phone in there which looks like it could be a british pattern (based on the braided cord and the shape of the mouthpiece), but you can only see the handset so it's not easy to identify the actual phone.

This is one of the finest posts I've seen
I'm sure there's far more research you can do into this!
