I found this on Esty for $64.00 shipped & tax. The closest thing I have is a 1443E in black. I have no idea what it's like under the hood. Is white notable on this particular model?  Given the year model I'm thinking it's probably PCV plastic? What I'm wondering is, is it a candidate for a bleach bath?

Thanks!

That is a cool looking phone for sure! Definitely a good candidate for bleach or peroxide bath. Post pictures of the restoration!

I have 2, and one is yellowed, the other appears to be painted...

They're on my "list to restore..."

As with any other 'black' phone. Examples in color are always worth while.

Here is a link from the TCI library, on page 15A of the publication it has a color chart for this style of telephone:
Search term 'Stromberg carlson 1543 color' using google search feature on TCI site

Thanks for the literature links, gentlemen!  When I get it next week I'll be able to tell exactly what I have, beginning with the ringer!

I'll post a few of the phone as it is today. There is more to do. The number dial needs to be replaced. It's stained beyond my ability to clean and it has a abrasion of some sort as well.

I fell in love this phone. I cleaned it up, hand sanded from 600 up, completely by hand, no chemical help on this one.
This is a brilliant white and this phone wears it well!

More on this phone in another post soon.

It has really grown on me. Now I have a beige one to do!
