On a road trip with "dial king" Steve Hilsz, to CA we found this ugly WE wood wall phone, with a mix of parts.  Long trans where a short should be, complete Kellogg C/S hook, field phone mag, 706 receiver and rubber cord.
Got a surprise when looking at the faceplate.  A RARE WE 6 digit faceplate !!
I have never seen a 6 digit faceplate.

As I say, you need to kiss a LOT of frogs to find that Prince !!  Yes these days you need to kiss a lot more frogs to find a Prince.  When kissing frogs, remember to look at the ugly ones too !A0CFA21E-D11B-43F7-B4AB-47470B351817.jpegECE00E7C-092F-4A1C-A5A2-BCC4F7ACB85D.jpeg7FBB9009-7F53-4B9D-B4EE-6E479C45E0B8.jpeg84799764-60DD-40EF-83FD-E7BC1654B35C.jpeg

I don't think ANY wood wall phone is "ugly".  It will look great when you return it to factory specs.

Sorry I don't know how to post a eBay link.  Maybe someone would help dummy me and make a post for this.     Yes we have a large gas bill from looking for treasures.
