Another W.E. 444EG for my collection!

[Babybearjs]

these things are rare and nobody wants them..... so here I am winning ANOTHER W.E. 444EG deskset.... I just have to clean it up, replace the line cord with newer modular connections, replace the dial center.... and I have another phone for my collection!

Nice find, I had that on my watch list. Although, I didn't like how the original line cord wasn't in good shape.

Ben, I've got a 1A1 system in my home and these work great.  now, should I accent it in Brass, or Chrome??

I love the colored desi strip and the fact that the lens is not broken, cracked, discolored or missing!

back in 2008, I won a 464 that was in the same condition, a little cleaning up and its as good as new.... at least I didn't have to pay the $100.00 I did for the 464....it was my first 400 series phone.... I love these units! so compact! sooo art deco!

Ben, the handset... and dial. you can trim these phones out in either brass or chrome.... checkout www.oldphoneworks.com to see what I'm talking about. it really adds to the phone when you deviate from the basic black!
