1949 Western Electric 5302
Telephone
I
have always liked this phone as it was a strange combination of parts and a
hard set to find. The 5302 looks
much like an early 500 set with the metal fingerwheel and shape of the body,
but it’s little more than a model 302 in disguise. It uses the 5H dial, the F1 handset,
and the base and internal components from a 302. Click here to see it from the side. It’s one of the easier ways to
determine whether or not a phone is a 5302 or a 500
set.
