I'm looking for a handset for my Stromberg Carlson 1444 (I forgot the model number). PM me if you have one you would like to sell.

The correct handsets were No. 23-R and 24-R, the same handset, but with either a three-conductor cord, or a four-conductor cord.  All my 1444s have a three-conductor cord.

I updated my original post with a picture from a current high-priced listing on eBay.

I've seen the 1400 series with the same type handset as the 1500 series.  Could that be a later version of the 1400 series?

The new handset was developed for the 1500 series, which replaced the 1400. However, since many parts were physically interchangeable, and the housing was the same, it's not surprising to find mixtures after refurbishing.
We just discussed this here:  http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=15702.0

The correct handset was on the blue phone sold by Kleenax, last week:

I have those handsets.
