Anyone know what I have here!!!

This has been today's project. Even though itsmetal, I'm guessing 50's but the inside components and the dial. Copper plate cleaned up great. The base is metal and came with looked like factory black paint. The handset looks like and F1, but no notches or markings....looks like an Ericcson to me. The European plug has Ericcson on it. I wrapped DT around the plug and it works!! Dial face is porcelain, but it has a large scratch over the 7-9 numbers. Looks like the finger wheel was copper plated as well, but not much is left. Looks Chrome or nickel underneath. I was going to replace the dial with a nice AE, but this dial is a little larger than an AE or WE. Any help on a dial replacement or a porcelain dial plate or a copper plate finger wheel would be greatly appreciated. What is it?.....Doug

Hard to say, but look at the dial on this one:

Ill guess the dial is Dutch or Belgian. 1945-1955?
