Title: Red Stripe Ringer
Post by: HarrySmith on April 25, 2012, 09:13:19 PM
I just saw this on eBay, I remember this phone or maybe a different one in a box with the same marking. There was some discussion on the lists but no firm conclusion. Any ideas?
It is a nice looking Red thermoplastic 302 but I think he may have his hopes too high :o

PS- I also just noticed he has a similarly high priced Old Rose 302

The same seller has these too:

($ 125 and 900)  ;)

I've seen cloth coiled handset cords in various places for sale but I have never seen one on a 302, were these original? I also think his hopes are high.

It's not blue, it's red!!!  It has no original cords or dial center.  There is no reason it should sell for more than $300 on a good day.
