North Galion What color is it?

Doug Rose · July 21, 2020, 08:13:22 AM

I found this on FB with a WE 5J or 6D dial. North used had these dials in their color sets. I should get it today, fingers crossed for a Blue inside! Otr a Coffee/Milk Chocolate color....Doug

It sure looks like black bakelite under beige paint to me, but what do I know?

Bottom of shell shows no black...it was a shot!...Doug

Can't say for sure, but there looks to be some black a long the edge and by the foot.

It wouldn't be the first failed gamble

So, what color is this? Faded ivory? Butterscotch? Beige? Hard to tell.

It is coffee or milk chocolate...dated 9 40 is my phone, under construction.

This pic is not my phone, one Ray had put on earlier and it jumped to the top of my want list.

I love the North colors, still waiting for the Blue..Doug

It came out great BUT it has a crack on the right hand side which I saw in the pics, hoping it was a scratch. Looks like a stress crack. Dated 9 40, I can't complain, I am very happy with it....Doug

The paint was breeze getting it off the phone, fine steel wool and goo be gone. But it was really tough getting of the white of the 5J.

I saw a few spots in the pics that I removed.

It is a tough color to find as it was not popular as you can see. They painted this black!

Nice phone, it's a shame about the crack.
