I have a few old telephones of different styles.  I am interested in
finding out when they were manufactured and what years they were in
common use.

Are there any reference books that give information about and show
pictures of old telephones?  Alternatively, are there any telephone
collectors out there who can tell me something about my phones.

I would also like to replace the carbon microphones.  (Yes, I have
tried the Whap! method).  Anyone know any sources?
