A friend is begging me to sell this phone to him.  Would anyone here happen to have a phone this color for sale?

Kellogg started making WE clones in 1954, as far as the base plate, dial assembly, and receiver capsules are concerned, and about 57 as far as the shell is concerned, the same year Aqua replaced Mediterranean Blue, so it is soft plastic if those are the original plastics.  Note, blue colors usually start yellowing, so aqua often looks like turquoise.   If your handset caps have 7 and 37 holes, respectively, they are hard plastic, but if they have 6 and 36 holes, they might be soft plastic.

This phone is all soft plastic and all the original color.
