Craig,

No I didn't see these. 
These have one standard Bozak woofer (B-199 8 ohms), a Bozak 6" 8 ohm midrange, either B-209, 209A or 209B depending on year, and two 16 ohm (wired in parallel for 8 ohms) B-200 tweeters, most likely the 200Y or if very old 200X and the highly adjustable N-10102 crossover.  Replace four capacitors and somebody will have a nice pair of speakers.  Only question, what does "only resonable offers will be considered!" equal?  Considering Bozak Symphonys go for $600/pair recently, $200-400/pair (depending on condition of grill cloth, wood, etc.) to ME seems 'reasonable'.  What does the current owner think 'reasonable' is?  Please note that the 302A came in all sorts of furniture styles - Urban (walnut, mahogany, ebony), French Provincial (Cherry), Contemporary (walnut, mahogany, blonde birch), Moorish, or Classic. Some of those styles are VERY retro.
Fairly efficient by modern standards, but as with all Bozaks, a limited high frequency range by modern standards.  Moving the tweeters outside of the cabinet (getting them closer to ear level rather than knee level) goes a long way and adding a Tobin circuit helps too.  Adding a Zobel or changing the settings on the N-10102 helps the midrange bump.
