I posted this question in another forum, but got no answers. Perhaps over the weekend, you can count and post a number.

Dennis, start counting now ...  ;D

I'm still a 500 rookie, so I only have five.

I more or less have one for each year from 1952 to 1960, plus a few extras...
They are just such classics and they were all $10-15 each.  I'll probably sell most of them next holiday season as "birthday phones" once I get around to refurbishing them.

Hmm, okay lets see. 

500s.  1 pink 66', 1 turq 68', 3 black, a 51' 54' and 60', 1 ivory 84', 1 ash 2003. So 7.

500s in pieces, 1 yellow 55.  (plastics from late 70s) 

Then I have:

1500s.  1 aqua.  A 1968 job that I'm pretty fond of.

2500s.  1 beige, 1 ivory.  Neither are of any collectable interest, one is a Comdial from 88' and the other a China made job from 94'. 

I added the 1500 and 2500 in as they are the "kids" of the 500 series, so to speak. 

500s are hard to find in my local sources, I have to drive a bit to stores that usually carry them or buy them online.  They are my favorite old phone, which is mainly for nostalgic reasons I'll admit.
