Help with this please.   It is a WE302 w/no dial. Only one bell inside.  All dates are 49.  Condition looks literally unused as new.  Looks like some disconnected wires inside.  Is this just an extension phone?

The bell is not original. Appears to be a low voltage bell, possibly used as in intercom setup. The phone could be used on a telephone line, but you'd have to disconnect the bell shown.

Notice that the low-voltage bell is marked "EDWARDS" which is your clue that it's not original.

So it probably modified to be an intercom extention in a home or office?

Appears the "new" ringer is easily extracted, should you decide to remove it, by removing one screw on the base. Must have drilled through the base and existing B1A ringer mount to create the mount for the existing ringer.
