WESTERN ELECTRIC model 500 1957                           

Here is an original antique older model  Western Electric desk telephone that has been restored and it fully works. 

  It was made after the 5302 telephone.  We select only older model 500 telephones with gentle usage for our restorations. We prefer the older models with the metal fingerwheel. Everything has the 1957 dates. First the telephone goes thru a good cleaning. 

 Then   telephone was polished  to make this beauty look better than new. Its bakelite G1 handset has been buffed and polished to a beautiful luster.  A new old stock germ free coiled handset cord has been added. We also add a  wall line cord with a modular plug. 

The line cord has a modular end so all you have to do is plug it in and enjoy and listen to its beautiful ring. This beautiful ring is provided by the 2 original polished bells which ring in harmony.

Would make a good Birthday phone for someone born in 1957.
