I have always wanted a Brown 302 since I go serious about the WE 302. Ten years ago I got outbid for a painted one I really wanted on eBay by a fellow collector at the time on the ATCA.

Fellow CRPF memeber Scot, (persido) who did such a wonderful job on the Gray 302 for me, just outdid himself. The metal base is powder coated but the handset is a WE brown 302, paint removed from a color set and polished.

Scot did not see the handset, I just told him what I was looking for. I am totally amazed with this.

Scot's generousity is out of this world.

Looks like it was carved from a hunk of milk chocolate  8)

Beautiful phone, Doug! I wonder what a cloth brown WE handset cord would look like on that. ::)

Looks very nice, Doug......and Scot!

thanks guys....Scot is the superstar here. I just put it together. I am amazed at how close the colors are, the Brown bakelite handset has been waiting along time for a matching base! ....Doug
