Trade my W.E. F-3 pushbutton handset for your W.E. E-1 handset?

I recently picked up an F-3 handset - that's the one with the pushbutton in the handle - as part of a bigger deal. I don't need this handset, but I do need an E-1 handset.

My F-3 is in very good condition. It has a lot of gloss just as it is, and the minor wear on it will polish right out. It has no major dings, scratches, gouges, breaks, chips, or missing parts, and everything is complete.

Likewise, your E-1 should have no major problems. I expect to polish out the bakelite, but I don't expect to repair any chips or fill any gouges. All parts must be present, with a good spitcup. I'm not fussy about whether it has a bullet transmitter or a later F-1 transmitter with adapter and grid (cover), and I'm not a matching-date fanatic.

I think this would be a pretty even trade, but if it doesn't come off, I'm willing to consider other items. How about a 2H dial??? Or even a 4H? No subsets, please, and no 500-series phones.

What say you all? Drop me a PM.
