Description: I will produce-- especially for you-- a unique, single-edition, custom dial card for your vintage rotary AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC phone. Your dial card will be printed to order on medium card stock which has been repurposed from vintage print media. This card will be cut to the unique shape of AE telephone dial card and is meant to fit only this manufacturer of phone finger wheels--see my other listings for Western Electric, ITT, SC type finger wheels if that is what you need. Faded black and off white sepia tone will be used to give your card an aged appearance using fonts that replicate a vintage dial card look from the 1940 -60's specifically in the style that fit Automatic Electric phones of that era --- prior to the use of area codes, when exchange names were routinely part of every phone number. I am happy to send multiples of the exact same design and exact same custom phone number at a discount when specified at the time of your initial order using the discount button. Please see my other listings: I have four different styles of custom AE dial cards available for phones from different eras and can also cut this design to a round 1.5 inches to fit Western Electric finger wheels from the same vintage. I will supply with your card a scanned instruction page describing the process for removing and installing an AE dial card as well as a small plastic tool to remove and install such cards. Under the exchange system, the first two numbers were represented by the first two letters of a word. Automatic Electric dial cards typically used the full exchange name followed by the last five numbers (which were hand applied in the field) to make up a unique seven digit phone number.
