[GreenKeys] Fwd: OLD TELETYPEWRITERS..?

[DR HOUSE]

I am having trouble with my NADCOMM list so I am sending this on  
Greenkeys.

Thanks to Alf I am fairly certain that the (flipped) image currently  
on eBay that I flipped back and sent out is that of a european police  
barracks with Creed teletypewriter machines.  The style of the  
telephones also look european to Sam Hallas.

Thanks guys... I ordered the 5 x 7 print and will do a high res scan  
and forward to you for further investigation.  It would be neat to  
know what country the barracks was located.

Alf, Please thank your associate for the great description (shown below)

Best,
Don

Don,
I don't know whether you've had any responses from your other buddies,  
but here is the opinion of a very knowledgeable and reliable friend of  
mine.

Best Regards,
Alf
