Handset for SC1211

[oldguy]

a friend of mine gave me an old phone quite a few years ago. I thought it was kind of cool. YTjanked him but didn't do anything with it. Now that I am learning more about phones I am going to start working on it. The case is broken, but I can live with that until I find another case. Now it gas a WE "G" handset & I want to know What Vintage the phone is & what handset it should have. I am posting some pics of the phone & what markings I could find. Any help would be appreciated.

That's how I got interested in this old phone I had, looking at the "What's your Holy Grail" tread. But there seems to 2 different handsets for an SC1211 & I would Like to get the correct one for this phone.

Originally, both the 1211 wall phone and the 1212 desk phone had the older style handset, with snuff catcher. Later, 1212s had the more modern handset and a redesigned plunger. I don't know if the wall set was ever manufactured with the later style handset.

There was a discussion a while back about a problem of the two types of handsets not being interchangeable, because of a possible difference in the cradle design:
