I’m looking for really cheap used old-school telephones, like used cheap online pharmacy office phones or similar. The numbers have to be on the face plate and not on the handset. They don’t even have to have to work. Any suggestions?

call your telco and ask who buy thier pulled phones and contact that recycler.
Are you using this for a movie or just want to collect phones?
Since you said that they don’t have to work.
Anyways, a good place to find these cheaply would probably be in a yard/garage sale since these people most of the time sell their things cheaply. If someone in your neighborhood has them then you don’t even have to travel far.
Another place where you might be able to find phones like this would be at a flea market. Here you will find many of these type of phones for a low price. One time I found many office phones and a box full of 1990ish cell phones.
The first option would probably be the best since you probably don’t have to go too far. I didn’t even want to mention ebay since there are shipping costs involved and this might drive the price of the phones up.
