Our Story

Grant Munro (1943-2017) worked for the BC Telephone Company for over 30 years and was an avid collector of vintage telephones and other memorabilia. Approximately 30 years ago he was approached to rent some of his items to the film industry in the Vancouver area and not long after he established Grant's Telephone Classics. Grant became well known for his knowledge, outstanding service and willingness to find just the right item for his prop and set dec friends. Grant passed away in 2017 and his prop rental business is now being operated by his wife Pam, son-in-law Mike, and son Shaun. Although we can never replace Grant, we will do our best to deliver the same personable & high quality ​service.
