    It's hard to date pay phones very specifically because they kept fixing them and mixing and matching parts. This one was probably not blue originally. Jack Worley helped me get this phone cleaned up - thanks, Jack! And my nieces and nephews have helped me jam up the coin return...

      Potrero, do you know what key is needed to open upper housing on a western electric 3 slot payphone. Your phone shows one key for upper, mine has two. Someone told me the upper keys are the same. It's the bottom that is different for every phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Mike. My email is rflah123@yahoo.com

      Lovely two-tone phone, Potrero!
      Did you ever figure out a date for it?
