Found this at a flea market in Florida. 20 bucks!

Very nice, I'm very envious! I don't suppose you want to sell/trade it to a new home??

No I think it is a keeper!

Nice find. Just about every gray phone I get is horribly discolored.

This one is not discolored at all!

Who is the manufacturer and is there a photo of the markings on the bottom?

Thanks.

Awesome find! I wonder if the original dial card is flipped? I have a 1960 light gray all matching dates in fantastic condition. Unfortunately, it is missing the line cord.

It is a Western Electric.

Beautiful find you have! I wish I found rarities like this on my antique shop trips.

Very nice find! I like the color grey on a 500. That one looks like it will clean up quite nicely.

A real beauty. Very nice!

Very nice! You should enter this in the Find of the Month.

I am not sure how to enter it in the find of the month. I think it will look almost new when I can get ot it!

I cannot wait to see it. Will you make a video of it on your tell302man channel?
