earthandmagneto, based on the ringers that had a Holtzer-Cabot patent on them the year would be 1898. The bells were marked AB&C Co. for Ansonia Brass & Copper Co.

Thanks for the reply...One more question about my phone... even with it having the 4prong plug in it was made during that era?
bem6207,The Bell system started using the round four prong jacks in the 1960's, modular jacks were patented by Bell system in 1975.
