Mile High Thrift Store, 650 Malley Drive, Northglenn, Colorado

Shiny chrome case, cashier says peachandset and rotary dial. Armored handset line.   No key.

Mile High is cash only.  No returns.

Were the metal parts of this pay phone later chrome-plated by a collector?

Thank you
I'd take an educated guess but am unqualified.
In paramediclass, doctor asked me signs of Alzheimers.  "I forget.", I answered.

Lighted Princess® telephones are our favorites!

To ensure an emergent transport call, I need only:
- take first sip of beer when eating pizza
- start shampooing in the shower
- pull bed covers over and get warm and cozy
- begin my OCD oil change.  (Remove oil plug to drain overnight.)

Need more information or photos. When Phoneco had reproduction metal 3 slot housings made, it was cheaper to just have them plated and paint if needed. plating was cheap overseas. The reproductions had Western Electric markings above the coin door.

Could not see close-up. On the wall behind the cashiers and I had to leave on a bloodelivery.
(Returning from a north hospital bloodelivery I try to visit that thrift store.)

With the shiny chrome and pink dial background and handset, I questioned it being a commercial pay telephone.
Shallook up Phoneco.

SOLD?  (Was able to visit yesterday.)
Purchased when reduced 75% ?
When an item remains unsold, they do 25%, 50%, 75%
