WE style top with an AE style bottom, I do believe...

Plus, I don't recall yellow being an original single slot pay phone handset color...

A phone phanatic since I was less than 2 (thanks to Fisher Price); collector since a teenager; now able to afford to play!
Favorite Phone: Western Electric Trimline - it just feels right holding it up to my face!

...Can anyone spot the difference?

McD livery (yellow)?

Thanks for the screen shots Fab, but Red is the color of Macs. I had a NOS NIB wooden boothet years ago, it had signs on either side in red that were red and yellow.
I suppose it's possible some place had a yellow booth, but the rest?

Oops. Guess I am thinking of the 'Golden Arch'. Shows how many McDo's we eat....

Well my point was, it's got a Western upper and a AE Quadrum lower. The coin  mech and coin return are opisate and the one can't work with the other.

So, original it's not.
