I am selling a 1956 Western Electric green Soft Plastic 500 desk set on E-Bay.  It has new cords and a Japanese-made replacement receiver capsule, but the rest is original to the phone.  It is a working phone and is cosmetically in nice condition.  Also selling a white 1959 hard plastic set.  What is unusual about this phone is that the handset is made like a soft plastic handset.  The caps have 6 and 36 holes, and the inside of the receiver cap is like that of a soft plastic cap.  The shell, also hard plastic, has the red date stamp along the edge inside, just like a soft plastic shell.  This phone is kind of yellowed, but probably can be made snow-white again with ease.  This phone is otherwise good cosmetically, and is a working phone.

I can't hold the camera steady enough.  If they ask, I will try, but it will probably be unreadable.
