Doug,

The link is strange, or I'm missing something.

It is a 304, not a 302.

Thanks, and, yes, the seller does state an "H3" mount in the description.

Pictured is an original Western Electric 302 in green. It looks like it was built in 1952 or 1953 and the original factory stampings are still present. It is marked as an H3. The body still has its beautiful original and shiny green finish. The body and handset are molded in green, not painted. There are no cracks or chips. The body has not shrunk so you are able to pop it open without effort or fear that the corners might crack. The original handset cord is in beautiful condition with no rips or discoloring, I did however replace the line cored with a modern green cloth cord that has a modular end on it. This phone works perfectly, it rings when there is an incoming call and dials out perfectly. Receptions in loud and clear.  There is no rust and no fade.       24.00 for postage.

Started at 13¢, never saw that before - interesting starting point.

At least he is admitting to rewiring the phone. It is wired like some amateurs would do, not properly attaching and routing the wires.
