Are Brown AE 80's rare

Hi,

I just had a quick question, are brown AE 80's rare? Like the earlier model WE's?

I see this one, I don't think its rare, but I'm not sure. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/clt/4194057799.html

I don't know how rare brown AE80s are, but the one on craigslist is not an early one, and it appears to have been painted, at least the handset.

Okay, that's the answer I wanted. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a brown AE80.

Me neither..

Reminds me of the GPO 746 "Yeoman" (or in my case, a 740 dressed up as a 746), being chocolate brown and of a very similar shape...

I don't think they made AE80's in brown.

Automatic Electric 80E and 85E desk sets were available from the factory in "Espresso Brown."
