 This seller gets a lot of mint painted phones from an old collector at his estate sales    8).  Never heard of the Blue Pearl finish, but my buddy had a GTO this color when I was in high school when Lincoln was President  ::)  ..nice ringer box as well.....Doug

That's the oldest GTO I've ever heard of! Was it horse-drawn, or perhaps steam-powered?!? ;D

Got to have the blue perl !

work horse phrase (quality indicator): from a retired man from the phone company

didn't know there was enough room for an induction coil in the E1 ringer box, or the D1 base.

This looks to have some kind of dark blue metallic "cast" to it....

Maybe it's one of them indigo-black models, or someone resprayed the phone with a blue pearlescent paint, so the black is still there, but it has that blue sheen to it, that or someone's basing the description on poor lighting... :)

I guess that explains it, everything they own has to be painted with that blue paint.....  ???
