Auction 43 - 1957 Western Electric 591 in Yellow

[Dan]

It looks like the ringer was added much later , it is a predominantly plastic mechanism. My guess is the dial is original, while the bells are not.

I would love to own it, since I don't have a soft yellow 500. However, I  like Dan/Panther, don't like the hybrid make up of it.

I would rather get a black 1957 we500 and make it into a "correct" two tone bumble bee set.

How late were the two tones made? I don't think they made any '58's (I haven't seen any).

$262.19

Since phones have been so expensive, with the $710 mushroom phone and the over $800  clear AE 80 , this phone will sell for $467.73. You could build your own 591, but it would be wrong since you still have the Bell System markings.

I'd like to thank the Academy, and my parents, and all the little people out there in the dark!  Geez, I was starting to think I'd never win another contest. 

Stay tuned for the next auction contest to be posted soon!
