Technique

The 302 [made by Western Electric] was the first telephone produced for Bell System customers to have the ringer and the internal electronic components enclosed in one solitary case. This model was manufactured c. 1935- mid 1950s. It was initially made with zinc alloy metal, but wartime restrictions forced manufacturers to investigate other, synthetic materials. Both Western Electric and Northern Electric introduced thermoplastic shells for their telephones c. 1945. Thermoplastic was chosen because it was lighter and more durable than Bakelite. This material also allowed the telephone to be painted, a practice which allowed the emergence of coloured phone, now symbolic of 1950s Art Deco style. [Ref.1]
