Nah, I've bought enough phones lately so it will have to pass.  It's only 15 bucks BIN if anyone wants it.  I missed that ringer switch being flat, but it does seem to be.  Who knows it might be an early 55' model. 

And could they take any crappier of a picture???

Hey Jonathan, that yellow 554 was a great buy for someone. I would've gone $75 for it! I missed it somehow. I do agree the back was painted silver.

Heath, I think that hook is chrome.  The photo is crappy.  The hook appears to be reflecting the black color on the bottom edge.  I see the seller has re-listed it, lowering the price by $3.00.

I sent the seller a question asking about the hook.

Dennis, it got taken off again very early this morning. Doesn't look like it was bought, but with the way they're hiding everything, I may be wrong about that. I think you're right about the switchhook reflecting the black. Maybe the seller will post better pictures? The one picture they have was shot like taking a picture of a person's face looking up the nose.

Also, I couldn't get your tinyurl to work for the second ended auction. Here's my version, FWIW...

Jonathan, he hasn't responded to my question yet.  When I look at that listing there is no photo in the spot where one should be.  But when I click on the blank spot I get an enlarged photo of the phone.  Don't know what's up with that.  That is an odd view.
