Unusual Couch Candlestick

Caught this one on a BIN a couple days ago.  Marked Couch - I've only seen one other candlestick like this and it was marked "Electrical Goods Manufacturing".  The candlestick is uninsulated and appears to be a fairly early phone.  The receiver arm looks like a WE, with some other parts being similar to WE.  Receiver is unmarked, and the magnet is a little unusual.  Original metal/wood base plate.  Really nice phone.

Another pic.  Can anyone ID the receiver or magnet?

I have a magnet like that, that I believe is a Century but cannot be certain.

Yes, I have a Century and a Swedish American that is similar, but not the same.
