I have these 2 telephones.
Norwegian metal box telephones modell 1934, probably made in 1942 and 1946.

Both has coiled handset cords, witch indicates changed after 1960.

The dial center on the 1934 is my reproduction, and I have put in with ordinary numbering inside the phone if needed.

The Dial on the 1946 is international numbered, and probably changed when before 1953 when the dials got plastic dials. This dial is in bakelite and very rare.

Line cords are missing on both phones. 

Originally the cords was black cloth covered cords. (3 wires)

The 1946? (Look at the label for dating) has some spots of paint, 2 larger blue, and some smaller white.  They are as they were when the were replaced sometimes during the late sixties, or early seventies. These telephones was made between 1934 and 1954. It is made
120 000 of these, and about 7000 was still in service in 1960.

Both are working.

So if one of you have a metal 302 with potential to be working, I'm interested.

Won a 302 with dial blank at eBay, so now I just need a dial.

The two telephones are still available for sale or trade.

That model was used in offices with two desks and one common telephone in the middle.
