When I started this collection I gave myself a limit of $25.00 for hard plastic 500's and so far I have been able to stick with that. That is the reason I will not be bidding on this one as the $25.00 shipping will put it over my limit. I prefer to get them off Craigslist for $5 - $10!!

I try to keep my 500's, 1959 and under.
This is a nice phone however.

No one will be interesting in that blue phone, the cord does not match it's grey! ;)

HarrySmith

That is one of my usual questions!
D/P 1956 is before 1959, correct?
I also asked about the mis matched cord ::)

I was commenting about the original phone ( Smart A** :o ;)), I didn't even see the one Kenny posted. I need to pay closer attention.

If someone gets this for 41.00 +free shipping(I am positive they will not) would that be classified as the 3rd deal of the century right behind Dans Mediterranean blue and of course D/Ps 48 Field test set in number one.

In looking at the pictures I saw something on the fingerwheel and asked for a closeup picture. He responded the fingerwheel was cracked and he would trry to get a good picture of it.

OK, at least he followed through. looks like someone tried to remove the fingerwheel at one time and damaged it. No big deal. It does not look quite as good under the hood, network seems to pretty corroded. It is out of my price range for a 500 :o
