    I have collected telephone intercoms for the past 25 + years. This SH Couch intercom had to be used in a apartment entry way. the 64 push button had tabs with only names. the photo's show a before and after my restoral.

      Nice restoration..would be nice to see you put the names back in, it's part of its history.

      dav2no1, I plan on using the original name tab and add more names.

      ttomtucker, Beautiful restoration work. <3

      Some of those name tags are interesting.

      Do I spy "Wild Bill?" It can't be Wild Bill Hickock, because he died in 1876.

      Then I think I see "(Isaac) Asimov," "(Everett) Dirksen," and "(Isaac) Newton."

      Well, I can dream, can't I? };-)

      keramikos, Yes there are some strange names on one side of the tabs. Wild Bill is one, lady Mary Montagu she goes back to 1689. and another is Ho Chi Minh I don't think he lived there. Turn the tabs over and there are name I have traced to New York City from the turn of the century. Some people didn't want there real names on the directory, so they used fictitious names.
