A WE 174G  Item #  330818116576  is already at $3050!

This one does have the nickel plated original coin gauge and prepay coin relay, but no instruction card holder or vault door.

These were converted by WE  from 5-cent transmitter-receiver types such as  Gray/Western 150G. They were all modified for 10 cents if marked 174G.

It sold for $3,278. Anyone have an idea why this one went so high?

I'm going to cut-n-paste from the TCI list David:

It has the earliest (1st generation) Gray 3-slot bottom housing - CAST IRON, with the very desirable cast brass tag on the front. Early cast iron backboard, cast coin gauge.

This phone is a LOT of a Gray 50A.
