Got any pictures? We love pictures!

All I have is my phone, and I don't have the first clue how to post pictures here, via my phone. In fact I don't even know how to send via email, though I could figure out that part.
Other wise, Yea I would have posted several.

Yes pictures will certainly help. Especially a likely very nice looking phone like this one.

It isn't difficult since you have the phone/camera. Here is one topic showing the buttons to push.

You will then likely have some pictures needing to be rotated but we will help with that and then show you how to get them right going forward.

Thanks Terry, I'll go out and hope to get some nice shots.
I'm not a fan of flash because it tends to change the color, I like natural sun light for photos, and today the sun has gone into hiding again.

I seem to always have to turn off the flash.... works better....

[AE_Collector]

Modern cameras need so little light it usually isn't necessary to use a flash anyway.

OK, let's try this... After removing it from the bag I had a it in, I saw some minor fading on either side. Even though this never spent any time in direct sunlight.
The dial that it had was defective, so at that time I put an ITT electronic dial in it. And worked great. And the left side the pic shows what looks to be smudging or something. But there is nothing there. Don't understand why the pic shows something.
Take a look.

A couple more, the handset is marked Western Electric, and the back is plain except a sticker that says AT&T.
No wear on the handset, or the cradle. I think the face plate was painted. But it looks nice.

isin't the model number suppose to be 2851??? I could have swearn that's what I have..... and the rotary model is a 851.....

My feeling exactly. I have several 2851 touchtone's and an 851 rotary sitting on the shelf waiting to be reinstalled someday.

[Key2871]

I think there was a sticker on the back that had the designation on it, but it's no longer there.
It's been my experience that when the break up came sets that were later marked AT&T didn't have numbers and date ink stamped on the back of the set. But we're marked either with a stamp, or sticker that said AT&T, some were insized with Western Electric. This is one of those sets.

[Key2871]

So any offers on my set? I will consider offers.
I need to thin down on some of these 1A2 sets I have.

[HarrySmith]

If you have one in Black I might be interested!

[Key2871]

I also have black, same model $75.00 plus shipping.
