Brass WE 302

[Doug Rose]

Collectors...I have had this for a long time and I thought I would share it with you. This case is entirely made of brass, not plated, BRASS. I have been told its not real, but a reproduction. It weighs 11 pounds. A green thermoplastic F1 handset with matching brass bands. A green/gold handset cord. A WE 6A dial with an open face fingerwheel with a matching Green dial card. Might not be real, but its not going anywhere.....Doug

It may have been one of those Bell System employee retirement phones.  Whether it is original and has a hisory, or whether it is a fake, it is beautiful and uncommon.  Definitely a keeper.

Nice phone Doug.  You have found some very unusual but nice phones in your "career".  Thanks for sharing those with us.

AFAIK, Dial Guy Steve H. Had the 302's housings created in brass. This was years ago, I would ask him. E-mail off forum if you need his e-mail.

It is quite a sharp looking phone., Steve H can give you particulars of his housings.
