I had two spare 2H dials with good 132B porcelain. Over several months of watching eBay, I was able to purchase two manual B-mounts in good condition at reasonable cost to which I installed the dials. Both had original paint with wear in the cradle areas that I touched-up. One had a ratty bottom plate cover. Dennis Hallworth recovered it (before he moved).

Yes, Chuck, very nice indeed. The round base with the round dial and E1s are very pleasing to the eye.

When you first posted the images, I noticed the number card with PEapack. Hadn't seen that before so did a TEN search for it. Seems the only exchange that used it, according to the TENproject Data Base was Peapack/Gladstone NJ. So, do you know how that phone got from the Atlantic to the Pacific?

No, I don't. Since I added the dial to the phone, the phone and dial could have originated from different locations.
