Behind mike is inscribed'PROPERTY OF THE AMERICAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY. A plate below the mouthpiece is pretty illegible.
It is in good condition considering its age and years of service. We used it until about 40 years ago.I hooked its two wires to the red and green wires of our land line and got a dial tone. We have a digital system, (ATT Uverse) so I could not verify the rotary dialing function.
