Very nice, Stephen.  I like that dial card too.....do you know where it's from, or did you mention that 7 months ago?  Maybe I better re-read the post.

Wow, very nice.  ;D ;D ;D Weren't most of the gray ones used in central offices and other Bell System locations?

Thanks for the compliments, fellas.  It's nice to have this one on display.  

Jorge,

I did have to do some sanding, mostly to remove scratches & similar imperfections.  I used peroxide gel to rejuvenate the color.

Dennis,

The dial card is not the one I found on this phone.  It came off a white ABS 500.  It came from Shelby KY.  I used it because I have another phone that also had this exact number--my gray 554.

Very nice results.  That auction sure had one diamond among all the roughs eh?
