    We found this while sorting our dad's things. He retired from Michigan Bell. I can't find anything to compare it to. It's from automatic electric company and appears to be a test set. Copper? Thanks for your help

      Lineman's phone I believe.

      Agree, a lineman's rotary testing phone. Here's a similar one:

      Looks like a switch room test set with that type connector on the end. Who ever made this test set up did a good job. This Automatic Electric dial was first issued in 1918.
