Question about my antiques?
I have a antique phone that I had restored. I was told it is a 1939 Bell Atlantic. In the actual dial there is the phone number. I left that there. The number is 213 232 5104 x 6.I have tried to find out what that number belonged to but have had no luck. The only thing I was able to find out is that the area code is from downtown LA. Any suggestions?

How can I sell my antique?
I am looking at selling my antique P14 Rifle deactivated with correct paperwork but I don't have a clue where to start. I've been collecting militaria for a while but just don't know how to sell it on, it cost 175 to buy and is still in relatively good condition.I live in the UK which obviously makes things harder as anyone with a knife and fork in their kitchen is a terrorist in the government's eyes these days.Could I take it back to the antiques store I got it from, a licensed shooting sports shop etc?
