Here's one that I have never seen!

It's Northern Electric 302. A friend of mine in Canada owns it; not mine. I supplied the handset, and can't even remember where I got that handset; I'm a sucker for a cool handset when I find them.

They were made in three finishes; Black Brass and Nickel. All were hard finds, the Nickel was most prevalent. To my knowledge the ATCA ones were reproductions...Doug

Maybe now they have reproductions but when I got them they were NOS. The story I got was the cases were discovered in a warehouse. The packaging, boxes & envelopes, were destroyed so they had the envelope reproduced.

Yep; both Northern Electric. The body is actually translucent; you can see some light thru it if you hold it up to the light.
