This was heavy for what I thought was a WE desk phone

A good method to condition the leather feet, learned from Doug Rose, is to apply Avon Skin so Soft after cleaning. I do it to all my leather feet. It adds the oil back into the leather.

Yes, it does work well, very well.

By the way, where do you get those dial rings? Plastic or metal would do. I've got a couple of 500s that need them but they are pretty much impossible to find in the UK at a sensible price.

I got mine from oldphoneworks.com
Don't get plastic. Get the metal ones. It's worth every penny.

I had a WE 440C that was all metal,  wound up donating it to a antique store..... it was really nice.... your phone is definately a keeper.... be sure to keep it in the family so the next of kin can enjoy it....
