    Trying to identify. Any help is appreciated. Phone has been stored in a basement for who knows how long. Perhaps it is rare enough that someone wants to restore it.

    Stamped on a small plate under the mouthpiece: Western Electric Company 229W

    On the back is marked: Patented in U.S.A. Nov 1 '92

      I believe one similar to this was posted several months ago. Maybe CW under phones.

      Is that like an operator phone? Like amini switchboard? I want to know how it works!

      What does the label on the phone say?? Inder the mouth piece.

      The box is dated 19+20, and say special type 212, right? I sold some telephony to the Telephone Museum in Northern California that burned down last summer. They would know! And they would WANT this. They lost everything.

      I found similar phones made by the S.H. Couch Company as an inter-office system.

      As I remember, that's what the one posted on CW was.

      You have a Western Electric #30 peg dialer Manufactured around 1907, the company also made a peg dialer in a wall phone. the 1892 is the patent date for the transmitter.
