 Note that it has the correct D 80370 handset (later called E1A), with the condenser installed in the base of the  D 76869 hand set mounting, rather than inside the handset (E1B). Also, an early 2HB dial with outside patent dates. (2AB dial is for desk stands (candlesticks), wall phones, and coin collectors (pay phones).)
