Normally, this would be out of the years that I collect but I am making an exception.  8)  Made in 1964, this beauty is 55 years old. This is perfect in its original box. I love that it is a manual set. I have never seen a manual Princess. I guess Cinderella was Kelloggs answer to the Princess. I don't see any difference, but I am no expert on them....Doug

Awesome phone Doug ,
     Check out my avatar ... one of my favorite phones in my collection is a gray ( carton says gray ...not the usual grey) manual princess.  This one is WECO .It was used at the MDF in a very small SxS central office in downstate NY .there were three of them , the only ones I ever saw.  I took the 
'effort" to preserve them when the CO was converted to a DMS remote.
I am away and when I'm back will send you some photos.
   One strange thing, they have lights for the dial that isn't there !

That is a really cool phone. It would be a keeper for me as well. You should put it in the FOTM.

Nice find Doug. You too Andy. I also had never seen one before. I must not have paid attention to Andy's avitar before.

Congratulations, Doug. It's a rare phone and NOS is even better.

I posted mine over 8 years ago in the thread about gray phones, in 2010. Mine is an ITT/Kellogg Cinderella and it's NOS and did come with the number card and ring, but no box. Picture below. It's in this thread:

http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=3312.0

The above thread is interesting if you haven't seen it, and even if you have it's interesting to see again what came in gray, both light and dark gray. Lots of unusual and wonderful things. Light gray was uncommon and used mostly for business installations but was also used in home installations too. The next time you look at the Mary Tyler Moore Show, notice that all the phones at WJM are light gray Touch-Tone sets. Some are 10-button sets too. It's an unusual color and hard to spot on TV since it can look green or beige in low light.

Jonathan -- back then you beat me to posting the one I got at about the same time. As I recall, someone put a bunch up on ebay one-at-a-time. Great sets!

Thanks for the reminder on the gray phones topic. It's been quiet for a while. Time to hunt for more gray sets!
