Anyone ever seen one of these before? Kellogg Ivory Intercom made in Belgium. I got out bid at the last second. This is a good candidate for a Bleach Bath, a new dial and insides. It sure is different. Looks similar to an Ivory WE....Doug

Where is it marked Kellogg? appears to be a Standard or BTM set.Black sets are common so you could find inside parts

He might have drawn that conclusion from this emblem, which is not very clear but looks somewhat like the Kellogg "K" or any other European phone manufacturers similar emblem.

That does look like the Kellogg logo. It is possible since Kellogg was bought by ITT and Standard/BTM was part of ITT that kellogg bought equiptment from them.

I've seen plenty of similar Belgian phones (usually black), but never this version.

Nice.   :)

That's the version I see. Have just turned one down in black for 5€, but it has a nick out of it.
I am trying to rein myself in a bit....

If I see a fingerwheel I'll let you know, I have similar in the spares box but not an exact match.
