Gray cords: Straight vs. coiled

[Jester]

Here are a few pictures of the two-tone sets I won a couple weeks ago.  The dial cards are NOS stock I got from John Huckeby.

Here are some "family" shots of all three two-tones.

Beautiful Jester, simply beautiful!

We used to have a 57 Chevy that was turquoise and green 2 tone.  I always loved that.

Love how the coiled cord reflects on the left side of the oxford gray in the last photo.

Great "family" of phones Stephen.  I particularly like the Ivory.  But the yellow is nice too...and I really like that Oxford Gray!............. 

[Jester]

Thanks for the comments, guys.  These will look GREAT in my color line.

Jester:

Great collection of very rare phones. I like the way you coil the wall cord in a circle to protect it from unnecessary bends.

Absolutely gorgeous!!  The three colors look great together.  I'm trying not to be envious but it isn't working!!!

[McHeath]

Yeah I agree!  My only two tone is a fake that I made from a black 54' 500 and a red shell.  You're pretty lucky to have such a great collection of them. 

[Dan]

It's not a fake if you can assemble matching parts, is it? Kinda like saying a '57 chevy with new fenders and a new floor is a fake, right?

I have a real fake oxford grey then

[McHeath]

Trouble is that my fake two tone has everything from 1954 except the shell which is from 68'.  Of course 99% of the population can't tell, but youse folks here are another matter.

Here is a 2-tone that I just recently bought from Mark Scola. It is a Kellogg.

I was watching that one, Jim.  I was surprised the yellow one didn't go, too.  The only other colored Kellogg 500 I recall seeing on ebay was a full dark gray that was offered by Phoneco a few months ago.  I don't think they are very common.

Yes the 2 tone are great, The only one I have seen in the wild and got it, more than a few years ago.It was a Red one, it was 1956 date as I remember. I don't collect them, (were would I put them ?) and I sold the Red oneoff a few years ago.

Yes a great find and they look great too.
