1956 Mediterranean Blue Rotary Phone Western Electric Soft Plastic

Description

1956 Mediterranean Blue Rotary Phone Western Electric Soft Plastic. The phone has no cracks or chips or any real damage, just typical wear and tear. It's used and not perfect. The handset cord has a few tears, not sure if that would cause any issues. I never tested to see if it works, it was just a display piece. The winner of this phone is likely going to know a lot more than I do about these old phones. I just appreciate the history and the beauty of these relics. The dial spins freely and the dial card is from a phone I found locally. I liked the black card against the blue phone. It lacked a card so I had no problem putting this old, albeit not original, card in. The card as far as I know IS original, just not original to the Mediterranean phone.
I will ship in a large mailing box and overpack w/ bubble wrap and crumple zones and separate the handset from the body. Yea shipping isn't cheap but neither are these phones and a Mediterranean blue jigsaw puzzle does nobody any good! So I overpack and put the weight at about 7lbs. I don't make a penny on shipping, don't want to. I will take a lot of bids though!!
Thanks for looking and have a great day! These old phones are special, I hate to let it go but I just don't have the space and it's time for
someone else to enjoy it!
Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.

Pics added! Sorry for the delay, I should have taken them earlier but everything seems to say 11-55. Cord strain relief also 55. Have pics but can't upload anymore. Any more questions I'll do my best. I want the winner to get what they want and be happy. It's my favorite color so I'll be sad to see it go.
Thanks everyone!
