The wooden dovetailed oak ringer box has a crank, a crank hole cover and key hole cover.  The crank rings the bells nicely, but otherwise may not be wired properly, and parts may be missing.  The desk set is a 1940s-type plastic non-dial phone with the Bryant Pond Tel. Co. “dial” center.  It, too, may have parts missing, so we advise you to look carefully at the pictures if that is a concern.  When you get them, you will need to unscrew the ringer box and fasten the cord from the phone into it.
