Still wanted ;)

Earliest that I have seen is 1934. I assume this is notchless, for a #2 dial?

The unnotched 132-type number plates 1920-1932 (for 2-type dials) and the notched number plates 1930-1933 (for 4-type dials) do not have dates.

My bad for not beeing specific, sorry for that.
The unotched #132 wont fit, it is a 4H dial, dated II 31, does not seem to be a modified #2 dial, has patend dates on back. Housing of the phone is dated  1 30, so might be the original dial. Handwritten 39 beneath the housing date could refer to a revision in 1939 what would match with the late 1938 dated F1 handset.

So my capable for beeing missunderstood wanted wish should be a correct dial face plate, metropolitan B type for a 1931  4H dial, not a dated 1931 dial face plate.

Original dial would have been 2HA, 2HB, or 2HE with unnotched 132-A, 132-B, or 132-E number plate. Original handset would have 395B ( "bullet" ) transmitter.

Jup, that's the one I'm looking for but even an E1E conversion with a 625A  would look better than an F1 handset with this phone so would be ok with me too. I guess the voice quality might be significant better with the 625A too. And this phone is in daily use (202 AST wired).

And I will keep the 1931 H4 for a while but need the correct dial face plate for 1931.

I hope anyone can help.
