This from regular commenter MP & I: "Years ago I worked for The Bell at the end of the Step by Step and Rotary Dial era. ![]()
Recently I 'Installed' a Telephone I have had since 1978 or so.
My last 'Installation'??
A N 293 G Dated II-35 on Dial Back. ( The Font does not show correctly, is really 2-35. )
Works! just fine!

The Bull Dog Transmitter and mount are from a more-modern Telephone, as is the receiver.
A stock Transmitter would not 'stick out' so far and was mounted with four screws into door front.
A Bell Back Board would be painted Black.
Those that have seen the telephone prefer the 'grain' look.
WhoCares at this late date??

The modern Mounting Wire is CHEAP, and THE SHITS to work with.
The screws should be black round head.
This is the first telephone of this type I have ever seen, never finding one 'In Service'.

Thank You.
