I loved the nickel parts, but the handset looked wrong and the base looked badly painted. I bid low hoping to get it to restore, but I did not win. Neat Dial. What is it??...Doug

That looks like an early "Bell Telephone" of Belgium phone and dial (aka BTMC I think?). The retainer ring includes that extra elevated section, which covers up the governor and some gear mech underneath. I also believe the dial plate turns with the fingerwheel. That dial is as far as my knowledge of foreign phones goes! ::)
