Just finished up this restore, just in time for Christmas, kinda like a Christmas tree green.

Scot, is this green phone another one with polane paint? 

It looks really sharp.  Did the yellow one you had on ebay last month sell?

I owe you photos of the blue shell.

Thanks everyone, yes Chuck the green is polane, gloss was added to the paint to give it a nice shine, cant wait to see what you did with the shell Chuck.
Andre like Christian said I make most of my dial cards, I have not been able to find an exact match for the type of font the phone company used in the name exchanges, the numbers were a lot easier to find a match. The picture of the dial card on the left is an original and the dial card on the right is a copy I made, they are not an exact match, but are close.

How do you get the perforations in the card, and what tool have you found to do the notch on the side?....or are these trade secrets?  :)

Hey Bill, I scanned a blank card, then I just add the the text to the image, lol at times I spend more time on the dial cards than on the phone.
