Rose Beige?

[AET]

I think the one on the top right is.  I bought these 3 and I think the top right one is a rose-beige.

Tom:

The top right is a beige phone, but from Automatic Electric. It is a model AE80. Color code is 10. Welcome to the AE Ownership club.

Ha, I guess you're right.  I didn't even see the little triangles.  Dang I was very excited about that one.  Maybe next time.

Tom, I have bought six AE 80's in the past three months. You will learn to appreciate them. The soft plastic ones are built like tanks (I have a red and a black) and the housings are thick (more sturdy than western electrics). You have the rose beige version. I have one of these too.

I'm not an AE hater.  I like all good ol' American Rotaries, I just thought I had found a really good deal, but just goes to show that when it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Ahh, not so, Grasshopper!  Many a rare phone has been found in auctions like this one.  You just have to familiarize yourself with the little clues to be able to quickly spot them.  That'll come in time, you'll see.

Yes Bingster, for example that Mahogany 554 I got when I bought a lot of 6 wall phones.  That was just dumb luck, but it flew below the radar screen of the collectors.  Although I know other collectors have a Mahogany 554, I've never seen another on eBay.  There are plenty of brown IT&T 554s, but the Mahogany W.E.'s are few and far between.
