    This is really old phone book from the Kansas City area. It's from the Home Indenpendent Telephone Co. in the K.C. area. It's in remarkably good shape for being over 100 yrs. old.

      I have an Iowa phone book that's dated 1919. Do you know, do these old phone books have a value?

      Beel, Early telephone directories from 1900 to 1920's do have value. Most of us look for directory from our local area, the earlier the better. Jerry has a neat directory from the K.C. Home Telephone Co. and he lives in Kansas.
