Picart Lebas Type 24

[FABphones]

I was lucky in my finds and managed to cross another phone off my top ten 'want' list of French phones. This Picart Lebas Type 24.

Photo shows it as received out of the shipping box. Needs a spruce up, and I have a nicer older French dial in the spares box, which I will swap this later one out for. The handset cord is in good condition so I am fine with it.

I will add more photos after I have had a chance to take a closer look at it.

After first clean up and polish:

Ah those french phones and their countless varieties 
The sound of the names alone makes a person want to collect them all.
This beauty seems to be a "private phone" never owned by the PTT, as it only has a manufacturer plate and no official marks.
Did you find any dates inside?

That is a really beautiful phone.  Great find!
