Given Bill was 21 around the late 50s, suffice to say Mum and Dad are pretty well dead, and Bill might well be too.
And somebody had a schlock redial done. It's a pity to see this kind of heirloom for sale no matter what the condition.
I always wonder. How can someone put so much effort into a redial job and have it turn out so incredibly, , bad.
Fortunately the dial on this one didn't meet the same fate. I think the about the only job anyone has for 50 years these days is making license plates.
not a bad job when you consider the fonts on the dial were done with a permanent, fine tip marker - free hand.
