Picked this old phone up at a sale. This is made from Cast iron and very heavy. Has a crank on the side. Does anyone know maker or age of this phone?

What does the bottom, underneath, look like? Normally, there would be some sort of information either printed on the phone or on a metal card. I wonder if it's a reproduction.
Federal Telephone and Radio Corp. made crank phones, but they didn't look like that one.
You can find similar ones here:

It's an Ericsson. Probably an AC300. Circa 1910-1920s.
Thanks Efesgirl and fortapache for the info. Efesgirl I checked the bottom and there are no markings.
It looks to me to be a Ericsson also
Thank you ttomtucker
