1977 Western Electric Model 500 Telephone 

Here is my recently acquired Western Electric model 500 Modular connector telephone. I acquired this phone from an antique shop and it is fully functional. While there are a few chips in the paint, and it looks like it was previously owned by a cord twirler, it still is in great shape. Upon doing further investigation on this phone's date, the internals appears to be from 1957 while the dial is from 1971. The handset is also from the 1970s and red on the inside.
