Western Electric 1D Single Slot Pay Phone

[Fabius]

I bought a WECO 1D pay phone with rotary dial on eBay. I am wondering if the model 1D was also seen stamped on rotary phones? The phone is dated through out 1979 with the same consistent color and font.

Tom I don't think the Upper was ever stamped with the model like 1D I think only the lower housing. All dials A,B, and C we're compatible with the coin first and dial tone first sets. So stamping the upper was probably not necessary. Hence 70A for rotary upper.

I have had uppers inked 1D, and what he has before myself.
Not common, but I have seen some.
Nice set Tom that should clean up well

Glad to see a fellow member ended up with it. I debated, but in the end said 3 are enough, especially since none are fully put together...

What you pay for that thats a reare one, and i've also seen uppers maked in some  bell regions maked on upper, but is rare.

I have to disagree. 8-) More is never enough.

I know, but I have too many phones to "refurb", including 3 single slot rotaries... (My basement is officially full.) It's time to cull the collection a little (or a lot) after the first of the year...
