Wood Ringer Boxes

[wds]

I picked these three ringer boxes up for pretty cheap, $45 including shipping.  43F, 127F, and an unknown.  All three ring nicely, with the 127F being very loud.  All very dirty, but in great condition.  This is my first 43F and 127F, and I can't get over how small they are.  I'll post pictures after I've cleaned them up.  The 127F is a green color - I wonder if that is a military ringer.

Are any of them stamped "Property of New England Telephone and Telegraph"?

I have never seen a green one before although I have seen 1317s in that color, I think they are military.

not engraved - yet.  Maybe I'll take my butter knife to it and turn one of those boxes to a New England box.

I will buy it if you do.
