Last week at the Flea Market I came across a WE 354 wall telephone, sorry I don't have any before pictures.  It was in bad shape, the dial would not move, scratch marks all over, and spats of white paint all over the front and at least 1/2lb of dirt on it, I paid $10, I have been busy cleaning and fixing it up this past week.
This is my end  result, I am happy with it, I think it's a neat looking telephone.

Scot...did you paint the 354? I have never seen a blue 354. Is is blue throughout, even inside the handset? Can you show picture of the inside of the shell and the handset. This is an amazing find!!....Doug

Fine job of painting, once again, Scot!

     That 354 is really an eye-catcher! I would be pleased if I had developed half your talent for painting and powdercoating, as the custom colours sets you've presented have all been absolutely stunning!

     Keep up the great work, and best regards!
Sláinte!
