I spent a cold and snowy day today to gather up the multi line phones I have. These phones have never been in the same place at the same time since I have had them and I have never displayed any of them.
From left to right;
510 12/55  (needs a lot of attention)
510 2/56
544B 8/58
466AC 8/52
464 HC-3 7/50-I

New addition to the multi line phones I have. It's funny to me that I never even tried to start collecting these. But, I guess I am now.

Thank you John. No I don't have the equipment to run them. I never went looking for any of these. They found me.  :)

I've seen many 42As that were swirled. Some looked really cool. I had no idea those too would be collectable.

Update of 1702Bs and Birds.

For years now I have been looking for a 702B Ivory rotary Princess telephone. Can someone confirm they actually exist. The color was released in 1967 according to Paul F.'s site (thank you Paul F). I do have a touch tone. Just wondering if I should keep looking. Thank you .

Yes they do exist. Nice ones are harder to find in some areas. But they are out there.
Have you looked on ebay?
EDIT: I looked on ebay after this was first posted, there are a couple, that could be cleaned up nice. But the rest are either faded or modular.

Thank you Ken for the reply. I have taken a chance on a few of those listed as Ivory. Even after I scrutinized each photo before purchasing they ended up being faded white. So I was hoping someone had one in their possession to confirm they exist.

Regards,

Yup I understand, but the ones I looked at were indeed Ivory. Some pics are hard to tell, but I've seen many a picture fadded and dim,lighting, and can tell 99% of the time.
Especially with the handset removed thats a tell tale sign.
So your looking for a non modular Ivory set.
I can keep my eye out for any in my area.
I am particular about what sets I collect. Because I've had a lot in my years, and not just anything will I buy, it has to be restorable no cracks etc.

Always keep looking. There are lots of exceptions on colors vs the official info. Since  Ivory appears to be official there are probably some out there.
There were some early princess sets made with 'soft' plastic. The soft plastic colors don't seem to show up as official colors.
