      Cool 500-series phone with hardwired handset, the 58 on its bottom wouldn't be an unrealistic manufacture year for it! With that black and white color scheme it'd make me wonder if it first served in a STEAK-n-SHAKE restaurant, I seem to recall their cash register counter phones were often assembled that way...??

      I love that two-tone color scheme!

      charmsomeone, you're quite welcome but in thinking further about it, I don't really think Steak-n-Shake ever got to Canada in their operations (that I know of anyway) though I guess it isn't at all impossible one of their old phones got itself up there over the border anyway...your phone being by Northern Electric would also tend away from my S-n-S guess because that aspect would strongly suggest it was actually made (or at least assembled) in Canada where Northern Electric was once the Canadian arm of A.T.& T. I'm also halfway doubting myself now whether the common S-n-S phones were black w/white parts (like yours) OR white w/black parts...that certainly was their general color scheme for things.

      And, of course, ALL the MaBell 500 series rotary phones used the same interchangeable parts inside and out for many decades, so it could indeed have been used nearly anywhere in North America (and beyond) regardless of when/where it was assembled or what colors it first came with...

      I *still* think it's very cool, anyway...??? ;-) ;-) :-) :-) :-)
