NO RESERVE AUCTION NO RESERVE AUCTION Low Low Starting Bid This is a Wonderful Vintage Western Electric Model 302 Super Size Photos Below On Headset it Reads - BELL SYSTEM MANUFACTURED BY WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY F1 THIS PHONE IS EXTREMELY HEAVY FOR IT'S SIZE Fantastic Western Electric 302 The Model 302 desk telephone was introduced in 1937. Created by famed industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss, the first versions had a die-cast zinc housing, however, demands for metal during WW2 necessitated a shift to thermo-plastic housings on later models. The 302 series was the first Western Electric desk telephone to contain the ringer and induction coil within the phone. Previous desk models required a separate subscriber set or bell box that was attached by the line cord. While the 302 series telephone is predominately found in black, it was also produced in nine colours. When the thermoplastic housings became the standard, the colours were moulded in the plastic of that colour rather than being painted on as was the case of the die-cast phones. Over the years the metal version of this phone has often been plated with various metallic finishes such as nickel and chrome. The Model 302 was manufactured until 1954 and during it's lifetime it was the workhorse of the phone system. This metal 302 dates from the late 1930's or early 1940's and it has a much sought after alphanumeric dial plate that shows virtually no wear. This is a great phone with what appears to be the original cord All original with no alterations Estate Find ♦ PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS BELOW ♦ Click on Photos to Super Size REMEMBER NO RESERVE ON THIS PHONE Your High Bid Will Win It !
