Private Phone Collection for Sale

From a friend of Private Line:

My name is Don Capehart, I live in Corsicana,Texas and I own a Telephone and Telecommunications Collection that occupies about 10,000 square feet.

We have a history of communications that dates back to the 1880s. There are approximately 2,000 items on display and another 200,000 in storage that has been inventoried. We also have several thousand parts not included in the inventory.

I am trying to find out the best way to sell and relocate this collection, due to the health of both my wife and myself. We realize that this collection may not fit with the type of investments and collections that you deal with, but we are hoping you may be able to direct us to someone that can help.

The collection needs to be housed somewhere where it can be appreciated. Due to the extent of the collection it could be divided into smaller collections.

You may view the website at http://www.telephonemuseum.info/

If you can offer us any advice on how to sell our collection, please let me know.

My family and I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Don and Rita Capehart
