Was this dark green shell really Bakelite?
Literature says "dark colors" can be made, but normally that means just black or brown.

I was hoping I could get this one, but $569.00 is too rich for my blood.

The inside of the handset and caps are the same color, so it probably really is dark green.

That's a pretty phone. I would like to have it, but got outbid quickly in the last minute. That's way out of my budget.

The North colors are a tough find. This looked to be in great shape. I also got buried in the last 20 seconds....Doug

You think that was a HIGH price Doug?  No way; it was a bargain for that phone!  I have had 3 of those, (all were painted black when I found them) and the average price at that time was close to double that price. But, I agree colored phone prices have gone down considerably.
