Saw it.  Very nice and original from 1955 with neutral cords. Haven't seen a red one as good, IIRC. Was wondering what the final price would be.

Me too, I  wanted it for myself. But, $365 is way to rich for my blood.

Is that the right dial blank for that year of phone?  It seems to be the same style as my 1962 phone.

Yes, that style was introduced around 1954, I believe, replacing the older convex type, slightly dome-shaped (95A).
Perhaps this changed took place the same time they changed the dial mounting bracket from a three-post to a two-post (sides only) design.
