Hey rkzen!

I know you can find a nice Western Electric 300 or 500 instead of going for the PB repros. Really, there's nothing like the real thing. I've got about 3 or 500 series desksets that I've found at thrift stores and yard sales. They all work and were wicked cheap too.

They made over a million of these babies. A dealer would sell you one for less than the PB repro.

That "Boomerang" pattern of Formica was called "Skylark." But most people call it boomerang for obvious reasons.

I love Formica.
