It has a sticker on the bottom that says 6-74. But I feel it is much older than that. the feet are felt. I mislabled it as a 500 it says 510 on the bottom. I am not good with the numbers and names.

Cool! Nice phone for $20.00. Let's open it up and see what you really got. Obviously with the leather feet it is not from 1974.

I am thinking maybe a refurb in 1974. Inside the receiver it says 59.

The shell is in super good shape. I seen that switch on the front and first thought MUSHROOM! Not that lucky.

peel the sticker off under the 510. It will have a date.I'd say late 1958 due to the leather feet. I have a two line 410 at work, but would love to have a 510. I like the 500 model ring better. Nice find.

There is probably a date molded into the underside of the plastic shell near the back.
