I handled one of these at a Kansas phone show. The one I held had an early E style handset with extra verbage on the handle , like you would find on a A1/A1A mount. The phone was not for sale.

The photo below is the desk version it is called an A1 or A1A , Many times mistakenly called a AA1. I try to refer to it as an A mount. Back in the day, folks would convert these to dial candlesticks.
The  difference in the bases  between a candlestick and a A1 is the A1 has different writing along the base than a candlestick. Better check your candlesticks.

Paul F. has info regarding the desk style on this page of his site:
