I found this narrow Wall phone box at the Flea Market. The seller had bee using it as shelf for years.  It set me back 30$ but I'd pay that for cool shelves any day. :) At worst it'll make for a really cool medicine cabinet.

It's completely bare aside from the lock and crank escutcheon which made it hard for me to identified.  I only knew it wasn't NE. That is until I came home and sat it next to the HC box I found the other day. The lock is almost identical and the ringer hole match. Now I'm pretty sure it is HC but I'd like you opinion before I start transplanting that subset I have into that...

Also did HC make their own transmitter and receivers? The holes on the from of the box seems to match the 4 screw cross pattern of the Kellog bases. Any ideas where I can gather the missing parts. Transmitter receiver and hook switch? And last what would normally go on the top in those holes in the 'cathedral' groove?
