This is the extremely rare Touch-Tone field trial set from 1960. This set was used in technical trials in Cave Spring, VA and Hagerstown, MD, and then in marketing field trials in Findlay, OH and Greensburg, PA in late 1960 and early 1961.
Here is a close-up of the Western Electric set designation. Notice it appears that this set was built on what was originally a normal 500 set base.
