Northern Electric Switchboard ID & Info Help

[Fabius]

I expect to pick up this Northern Electric switchboard soon. Is it the Northern Electric version of the Western Electric 551? Seems to be complete except for power supply? Looks like a thin green felt wood board was screwed to the front for mounting a handset holder. Thanks.

Tom  ..    From your pictures, it certainly looks like a Northern 551-A switchboard.    It's listed in Northern's T-7 Telephone catalog as a 551-A ( handset ), and 551-B ( headset ).

Check your personal messages Tom.
