302AC -- H13 tel. set mounting. Or 306G (H14) if it has a tube.

Interesting. Now I look over Paul's site and find that it probably IS a model 307. The seller wasn't a phone person at all, and she just said that it says "307" on the bottom.

Ray.......it looks like your instructions was an after add. It has the correct plunger but the instructions seem to be added on not cut into the phone...Doug

Uhhh, don't know about that Doug, but I haven't gotten it into my hands yet. Downloading image into PhotoShop here it sure seems to look authentic to me.

I have a few of these, and the matching 357 wall phones.... nice unit. based on the pictures it looks like the shell was changed out. but no biggy... as long as it works right... I love mine... all working and usable.

Thanks for the pics Doug. I now realize that it is either a 302AA or 302AC although I don't know what makes it one or the other. After taking some more pics yesterday, I just decided to put it on eBay starting @ $9.99 so it would go to a good home.https://www.ebay.com/itm/234368063894

It looks like the bid is up to $56 & you still have 5 days to go. Looks like you'll make a good prophet Ray!

I may indeed make a good PROPHET, but in this case, I will settle for a "profit" ;-)

Ok, I can't spell🙁 or I'm a prophet😳😀

Currently at $147.50 with three days still to run - not bad for a $20 investment!
