At Least it isn't inyo face offensive.   :D

No, it is just offensive.

Imagine seeing this gem sitting in full sun light.   8) required.  It was a SC 500.

At least it wasn't a Rose Beige, Mahogany, Oxford Grey or Mediterranean Blue 500...

A phone phanatic since I was less than 2 (thanks to Fisher Price); collector since a teenager; now able to afford to play!
Favorite Phone: Western Electric Trimline - it just feels right holding it up to my face!

Ah, yes, Milwaukee's one and only . . .

Here's a close match from his costume closet.

I think I've seen that one before.  I think it has been on eBay for quite a long time now.  I could be wrong and may be thinking of one similar to it.

Leave that phone alone!  You'll put your eye out, kid!   ;D

At that price, it should be sterling silver . . .

In many homes, it might be hid, but it ain't hideous.  :D
