Wrong handset on phone

I found out my WE wall phone has an incorrect AE  handset. Anybody got any original correct handsets?
Also, would like to find a better case. Mine has two small cracks. It's a wall phone that has been updated.

Is it a model 354 or 554?  What color?  ::)

554 In black.

Bill, what year is your 554?  I might have one.  I think the G1 was until about 1965, and the G3 from then-on (for black).

It's a '59 model. I also need an original case, mine is cracked, and, an original dial. This one has a totally modern plastic assembly with plastic gears, plastic wires, etc... It's been up dated to death.
But, I really want to save this phone.
Thanks.

I could put together a dial for you-I might even have one from '59, or if not, from somewhere close.

I don't have the any number plates, though-you would need one with screw holes for mounting. Your current dial probably has one of the modern ones that twist-lock on. I think that Old Phone Works has the correct ones for a few bucks.

Email or PM me if you're interested.
