  Found this one the other day.

Complete with original cords, light bulb,etc.

Matching numbers U 500 11-58. Body is 24G , Handset is Western Electric G 3

I just have to replace a broken fingerwheel .

It seems to be an odd shade of red , more maroon than other red phones I have seen.

I checked it all out , and it seems 100 % .

I am in the process of cleaning it up !
Never met a phone I didn't like !

Very nice!  Red is always good, and a red mushroom is great!  You don't see them too often either...
