    Designed and engineered by the Bell System and manufactured by their Western Electric Division this telephone is one of the very early dial desk models.
    In the early days multiple line telephones were not yet developed. Locations requiring more than one line were supplied with several telephones. Ringer boxes with a variety of bells producing distinctive sounds were installed allowing user to tell which phone to answer.  Some types: COW BELLS, LIBERTY BELLS, SLEIGH BELLS, "T" BELLS, WOOD BELLS, GLASS BELLS and several sizes of round bells.
    The two sleigh bells are the largest I have seen. They are  identical made of bronze polished on professional machines.
    The #2AB Western Electric dial makes distinctive clicking sounds when rotated. Serious collectors appreciate this type dial. They are very hard to find and quite expensive.
    This set will be very interesting to your visitors and family as it is fun to demonstrate and explain its historical importance and rarity.
