The image shows a Western Electric hand telephone set, likely from the early to mid-20th century. Here's some information about it: Western Electric Company: This company was the primary manufacturer and supplier of telephone equipment for the Bell System in the US from 1881 until 1984. Hand Telephone Sets: These sets, produced from 1927, combined the mouthpiece (transmitter) and earpiece (receiver) into a single hand-held unit, known as a handset. Evolution from earlier designs: This design was a departure from earlier Bell System telephones where only the receiver was held to the ear, and the user spoke into a fixed transmitter. Components: A typical set included the handset, a handset mounting (like the handset, a handset mounting (like the cradle seen in the image), and an apparatus box containing the ringer and network circuitry. Cord looks chewed up… and there are some missing ear pieces but still oh so adorable
