Model 2500 From
David Massey's personal collection.
The Western Electric model
1500
series (introduced in late 1963 or 1964) was the first touch-tone desk phone made by Western Electric and was the
touch-tone replacement for the model 500 rotary dial model and the compliment of
the 1554 touch-tone wall model. It had only 10 buttons on the dial pad
(the "asterick" and "pound" symbol buttons did not exist).
Northern Electric (the Bell Canada equivalent of Western
Electric)
produced a 1500 model using a 500 housing and circular adapter
plate for the dial. "The Northern Electric
version (1967) is even rarer
than the WE 1500, as it was identical to the prototype
developed
in the States in the early 1960s (with the circular 500-like
housing)".

The 1500 was later replaced by the model 2500
(12-button model) around 1967. I have a
generic clear plastic housing that I placed over a Western Electric chassis and
handset components as seen HERE.
