I posted these in the 616 thread, but I will post them here, too. The display is just something I threw together. I have a programming phone and a spare 616 coming soon.  Jim

The two trimlines are cool in yellow & red ;) thanks to share your collection Jim

The red trimline is really orange. The flash shifted the color.                      Jim

If it's Western Electric, it's probably rust instead of orange. Brown and rust were new colors for Trimline but not offered for the other "Big Ten" sets (Princess, 500, 554, etc.)

Yes, it is Western Electric. Thank you for the correction on the color. I am not a really a collector of the trimline series. I just liked it when I saw it. Once in awhile I take a break from buying 500 based phones and pick up something different.                             Jim
