Looking for a black G Western Electric Handset.

Looking for a G3 with armored cord. Must be authentic Western Electric, not post break up of Bell. I have plenty of generic black handsets.

Hello, sorry I don't have the handsets your looking for...
I'm responding about your comment that you 'have plenty generic black handsets'.

I am seeking good functioning 500/2500  g style handsets, {in pairs} that I use to make 'Electrician's wire continuity test sets'.
Colors aren't important, buy would like to keep pairs colors's the same.
If you have some from the 70's-80's that are low in collector value and would like to sell a quantity (or know of someone who would), I thank you in advance.       Dean B.

Welcome to the forum, Dean.

You might consider making your own Wanted post for the handsets.

Another option is to have generic or faded handsets painted by Richard Rose. It will give you more options on sourcing inexpensive handsets. Then they will look like new. Many of us have used his service.
