I have this dial on my TP6a phone.  Who manufactured it?

To be certain, show a photo of the back with the nomenclature numbers [such as TA-45/GT or TA-45B/GT]

That dial was made by Federal Telephone and Radio Corp (FTR).  They were used on many Signal Corps phones from various manufacturers.

It could be either the FTR (the model number for which I already posted) or another dial since several versions were used on this set. To be certain simply post a photo of the backside of the dial.

It is an ITT (Federal) dial.

Either an FTR TA-45B/GT or a Signal Corps clone of it. Taking a look at the backside of the dial would verify which but that seems to be too easy.

It has to be a close relative to thedials usen in phones made in Antwerp, or even here by Elektrisk bureau and STK (Norwegian STC) later ITT.

Dsk,

I believe that the dial I posted is the dial in question. Your comment relates to the dial I posted and yes, it is a close relative the the original BTMC 7000 series dial. This version has been redesigned with a US mount so that it can be used with the original 7000 series mount or the US mount. It was used by Federal - mostly in the Americas.

Here's one that was found with Federal's US military packaging.
