Rare Vintage Western Electric 302 TEAL BLUE ROTARY TELEPHONE Thermoplastic 1950s

[Doug Rose]

I woke up this morning to a $400 discount offer from the seller because I looked at their auction, $774 US was a really decent price for this, without seeing under the hood 

It was gone by the time I got the offer

Hopefully someone here got this beauty!!

This is a Northern Electric 302 with WE plastics. Note the white "H1" (rather than vermilion) and the slot on the base pan for the induction coil.

Apparently, NE did not make 302 housings in color. I also had an early (ca
1959) aqua blue NE 500 with WE plastics.

Congratulations Mr. Rose!  I wish I could find one at garage sale or something!  Dark blue is so rare, even in 500s.

I did not win this, I was asking if someone on the Forum did?

My mistake, I thought you won it.  I sure wish I could afford it!
