just won a beautiful western electric 2500,ebay item number 300911558573,photo when I receive it.

Nice, I need to stock up on those 2500's. Interesting thing is that phone was refurbeshed after the break up of ATT thats why it says ATT on the faceplate.

Here's a couple of the eBay pics.     Looks like the heart of this one is a '58, refurbed with the late small round feet and modularized.   Sometimes I wonder what a Bell-refurbished phone was originally.   Certainly this one's original housing was soft plastic, whatever color it was.
