    Question...
    Would anyone happen to know why this handset has a metal piece over the transmitter section. Is this some kind of Mother in Law receiver? I am guessing this desk set is an intercom system.

      I wish I could tell you something about it -- it IS a very cool old device, whatever it was intended to be used for. OH -- and welcome to CW, Colonel_Rock!!
