Picked up this AE 40 Monophone up. It's a first Monophone for me.

Very nice!
Mine has a cloth handset cord, and no dial.
I use it on my Pony board.

Nice looking AE. Is there anything written on the back of the dial card? Looks like one I sold a while back. I always put my initials on the back of the dial card on phones I sell.

Nope nothing on the back, but there is the faded number 322 on the front. I adjusted the brightness and contrast to show it.

Very nice. These are definitely one of my favourite phones - the look and feel of these is (to me) just fantastic.

Agreed. A must have for any collection, was really surprised to read you didn't have one.

I purchased three of these before one arrived without damage, glad to see yours made it unscathed.  :)

Maybe the most beautiful design of a practical table top phone ever made. 
Had mine as the "daily driver" for many years. Pretty goog sound quality too.

Thanks everyone.

I mostly collect Northern Electric / Telecom items. I bought it on a whim and kept an open mind. I'm glad I did. It's as clean on the inside as it is on the outside. I plugged it in and it works just fine. Has good clear sound. It fits right in and doesn't look out of place in my collection.
