Pink isn't my color but this is bound to be up someone's alley:

Looks like it could be an early one.

That's a nice one!  Looking at how the plastics have faded, the smaller coiled cord, and the seven-hole earpiece, I'd date this one early 60s up to about 1965.  The ABS pink aged to a salmon color, while the tenite (up to about the middle of 1959) faded to a light pink, almost white.

Thanks for adding the picture Kenny. My brain has a bit of lag time today....

Another shot straight on gives clues about the age.

I agree with Jim about the date of the plastics on this one, but the base is older (leather feet).  That would seem to indicate an early-sixties pink refurb of an older set.
