Nice find by Jan when she went back to Brimfield on Friday. This was a keeper. Looks like an Old Chicago refurb, very minor paint loss. I swapped out the long ivory curly cord with a WE cloth braded cord. This is a sharp looking set with the brass bands, brass around the dial and the real nice brass finger wheel....Doug

That's a real sharp looking phone and in great condition!

Looks like it, those are our handset bands. there might be a buzzer installed inside.

Robbie....no buzzer. You guys did do an amazing job painting. I love the brass around the dial. Very cool....Doug

We had a professional painter at one time.The paint was nice automotive paint  but not as tough as what WE used.Old Telephone Works? might still sell the bands .The dial bands were made taller for #6 dials and not as tall for other dials.The bands were also gold or chrome plated as needed.
Bands were made for SC and AE type 41 handsets also
