I just received my black based red 500.
Problem is the handset is in need of repalceing.
I have two to choose from.

One says;

"Bell systems property"
          Not for Sale
      Western  Electric

The other say;


Westrern Electric
Made in U S A
        G3 


Which would be better for a late 50's 500 ?

I've put the G3 on, as it seems the older of ther two.

The G3 is older.  There should be a date inside, either stamped in color or molded.  What about the caps?  Six or seven holer?
