While it could be new and/or unused, it is packaged in the box that its replacement 500 set upgrade arrived on site in. A fairly common mis-interpretation of phones as listed on ebaY.

Never the less, a beautiful red 302!

It truly is  a beautiful phone.  I will be watching as I don' t have that kind of money.

Yep, a beautiful phone. Just not quite as the seller describes it, but just a bit of cardboard away! Wouldn't be ashamed to have its likes in my collection! Maybe we should call if "Vintage NEW in A Box" :o

Look closer.  The H3 mounting code identifies it as a 304, not a 302.

The more I look at it, the more I think the handset cord is wrong. Looks like a blood red curly cord that was a later add. The line cord has the correct color for the cords. ...Doug
