Aside from bit of dirt and a need for replacement electrical cord, this intercom phone is in great shape. No breaks, cracks or other damage. I looked online and only found the desk model of this phone. Not a single wall phone. Not even in the Ericsson phone museum. Any info welcome!
Thanks for calling by....
Bonnie
Love it. Great buy! I've never seen a wall phone model like this.
JImam - neither have I....it's strange that there are none online, either.
On yours I couldn't understand the purpose of the '11' dial number so was very interested to find more about it and googled it... check out this link, very close to yours, but without '11' dial :)

JImam - it's close. Mine isn't a rotary dial phone, though.
I was surprised at the '11' also. I don't understand 'not a rotary'? The dial does not turn? Oh, it's an intercom! That's cool. So it's just designed like a rotary phone...cute.
@shareurpassion - you turn the knob and put it over whichever number ( intercom extension) you want to contact and then press the white button.
Very neat old phone! I too have never seen an 11 on a rotary dial phone.
Super neat. I haven't seen a wall phone like that before.
@fortapache - and you were my hope!!! :))))))
I sent an email, along with photos, to the Dutch Online Telephone Museum. Somebody, somewhere, must know something!
This is in such fantastic condition Bonnie! My grandmother used to have the desk model... excellent find :-)
I SO LOVE THIS..................
Thanks, all! I did not hear back from the phone museum so will have to try something else.
Great phone, great find :)
