This is why you go to a phone show. Only one I have ever seen.

Has a cracked but with a excellent repair just needs some color.

That is a beauty. I love the red bar design, especially under the hood. Very well put together and well thought out.

Lots of good stuff at the show also picked up a real nice 554 in rose beige and several good payphones.

Real nice Jim. About Eight years ago Someone had an Ivory 700 that was made into a lamp  :-*.

If I had your set I would put a Brown Kellogg handset and keep the Ivory caps....but that's just me.

It's a beauty!....Doug

notice the clear bar which is always a sign of a colored phone. I found a green one of these once and it was black until it was buffed. They turn dark and look like slate over time. But will always buff back.

I am confident that after a repair the crack will be almost impossible to see.

Great find, I guess you can't call it  red bar :-)

Probably a "clear" bar set.
Just my guess.

I posted last year about my blue one with an ivory handset (and red bar): forum link.  These phones were made in several colors but apparently in very small quantities.
