You have a OST receiver.  OST = Outside Side Terminal.
I couldn't tell you much more than that.

Looks like a SOLID brand OST reciever.

I've done a search but can't see any threads on this.
Could you clarify please, it's not something I am familiar with.
Is it desirable?

ETA: what model/s phone would it have been on?

Thanks.

@FABphones - so you bought 'it' (whole item soon to be revealed no doubt?). I was watching that one on eBay and would have been happy to buy for the opening price or a bit above.
:)

kellogg did not use  them. I think they were made by Murdoch

Thanks all for the replies, and well done Ben, I can now confirm it is a Solid. Thanks everyone for the help IDing this.
