White 500 Set all Dated Match 9/67

[Doug Rose]

Jan and I were at an estate sale yesterday and I was in the basement. It was dark and in the corner I see a phone. It is covered with sh*t. Filthy. I pick up the handset, no dial tone. Okay....I yank the line cord out of the wall....three tries it was in there and bring it upstairs.

"It would be $5, but I don't even know what color it is $2bucks." This guy has been sitting there for close to 50 years. All parts match and its white. Maybe need a little buff, but its white!!

Birthday phone!! Who is ready to turn 49 in September...Doug

Nice!

I just found a transmitter manufactured on my 1st birthday (10/10/67).

Very nice! Seems like the phone being in a basement for a long time spared it the awful yellowing a lot of white sets end up with.

Wow, that's the month and year of my Mom's birthday!

Since Christen is trying to make you feel old, I will make you feel young. That's the month after I started college

It's the month I started 1st grade. My school had a red emergency phone mounted out front and I already had gotten to play with a teletrainer Rotary and 10 button) in kindergarten.
