Auction 65 - WE 305 in Ivory plastic

[bingster]

An excellent suggestion from Kenny, here's the subject of our next auction contest.  It's apparently a Western Electric 305 (ringer cutoff key), in Ivory plastic.  It's an unusual variant, but there's also a big crack on the front, so take all that into consideration when making a guess.  What will the auction end at?  Get your guesses in before the auction's final day, and you could be the next contest winner!

It's got another crack in the area in front below the ringer cutoff switch.   And now we know why Ma Bell charged extra for color phones: for the longest time they were made from plastics that were subject to cracking, warping, shrinkage, discoloration, etc. etc. compared to good ol' standard black.

I'm going to say @ $200.00 for this one. 

[Dan]

I'll go 295.89 because it is relatively uncommon

[Ed D]

OK, $237.42 is my guess.

[JimH]

I'm going to say $177 because of the crack.

[Kenny C]

I am going to say 302.37
