It is the soft plastic sets that mold. Once AE went to hard plastic they continued to use soft plastic for the dial number ring and some sets will be okay in storage except the number ring is white with mold!

Are they for sale?.....Doug

They were a few days ago. The owners name is on a white piece of paper on the box. His first name is David, can't make out the last name but I didn't try too hard.

Very easy to put name together. It is on inside of the box at the top of the picture beside the logo and on the outside of the box at the bottom.

Babybearjs wrote this about it the key phone:  " this is one of the phones that got scrapped. I won it on Ebay cheap hoping it was usable.... but as the photo shows, it was a mess... the water had done so much damage that not even the keyset was salvageable. what a shame.... if I remember correctly.... I did save the ringer, capacitor and some other parts.... "

A bunch of Western Electric 302s I got a few months ago. Most are metal, got them for $25. They were in the mud when I got them!

Amazing find...less than $2 apiece. And looks like small plungers on a few of them.
Good job!

Am curious if any had the vents under the cradle, and if so, if there were 6 or 7 vents. The 7 vents are more scarce.
