Designed by Henry Dreyfus and put into service in 1937, the Western
Electric 302 is probably one of the most well known of the classic phones. One of its
nicknames is the "Lucy" phone because of its many appearances on the "I
Love Lucy" show. The earlier models were made with Metal bodies, later models of
thermal plastic. This phone is commonly misrepresented as Bakelite, but in fact Western
Electric never made any phones using Bakelite (other than for the handsets). They didn't
think it was tough enough for long service life.
The phone originally came with a straight handset cord, but later models used the curl
cord. I can do either way for you at your request (if no request is made, I'll pick one
that's nice).
