I bid on this '36 302, but didn't get it. It went for $292. I was hoping to get the seamless F1:

Did anyone here manage to get it?

How did you determine the date? I can't make it out on the one inside picture.
Seller description: "This is dial desk phone, manufactured for the Bell System by Western Electric. It is in good cosmetic condition. It has not been tested, but everything mechanical seems to be working as specified. It has the original fabric covered cord between the body and the handset"
I see 2 dates on it, both 37.

Yeah, the base looked like 7-37 and the coil maybe II-37. But too fuzzy to say for certain.
Sorry gang, I meant to say it was another '37. My mistake. ~Tim
Not necessarily a better picture, but the dates are a little easier to read. ... Jeff Lamb
I don't recall having seen a 61L filter installed into a 302.
The 61P filter was specifically designed for the 302, I think.
I don't think a 61O filter existed that would taken the place between 61N and 61P. [not really terribly relevant, I suppose, except if one expects the 61L to be a 61N plus contact screw, which it seems to be.]
PS: BSP 501-170-200 i1 6010, 61-Type Filters; Installation and Maintenance
Ok, this BSP does show the use of the 61L in 300-type Telephone Sets. And from the drawing that appears to apply to the metal housings. So, the 61P must have been designed for the plastic housings, although that is not discernible form those drawings.
