Those are not especially easy find in colors other than black.  I seem to remember that Dennis has some very nice colored "Banjo" phones.  I have a couple in black, and one each in mediterranean blue, oxford gray (with black bezel), and rose beige.  Yellow would be nice to add.  If only this one had the proper handset, and unbroken shell, and a dial with yellow bezel.

It sold for $212.00, higher than I expected for a black banjo with a damageed yellow replacement housing.

Here is a topic with a full yellow set.

I agree. the price for something that isn't original and damaged was over slightly the top.

I used to have a collection of these they are impossible to find in colors. They also came with lighted dials. It is always amazing to me that people collect W/E which there are a million of compared to North and Kellogg of the same error. Try finding the wall versions.
