This is an "AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC" oak wood
Magneto "Party-Line" Telephone.

Probably from the 1930's with a bakelite handset
on top and the brass rings on each end of the handset.

The cradle holds the metal nameplate.

Full instructions on front card. The "Button" the card 
refers to is the small button on the left side.

Great sounding bell when magneto crank is turning!!
