I am so Stupid......BUT Lucky Vintage Red Western Electric Bell System C/D 500 R

[Doug Rose]

I was at work Tuesday morning and took a quick peek at eBay, this had been on a few hours. No inside pics so I moved on. I went back and made an offer for $35...so stupid!  I went back to buy it and he accepted my offer. So LUCKY no one else grabbed it.

Ii is all dated 6 56 except the shell which is 12 57. Even the red Handset cord has 5 6 on it. I know the line cord is an after add.

It is fully functional and in amazing condition.

It is a keeper. I know .....me collecting 500 sets!

Jorge this is all your fault!...Doug

Nice catch! Clean soft plastic for $35.00, great buy! One year newer it would be my birthday phone!
