This popped up in my saved craigslist searches.  I probably don't want it but I thought I'd see if there was any interest from the board.

Odd placement for a dial ???
Assuming the slanted shelf below the bells is for writing one would have to get on your knees to dial ???

Harry...I'm going to go out on a limb and say the dial "might" have been an after market ad. ;D.....Doug

Maybe the owner of the phone had his/her small child dial the phone for them :)  Or perhaps this phone came from a chiropractor's office ;D

If you are able to hook switch dial couldn't the magneto be converted to a dial somehow!

I think the lower front cover portion of those phones are steel painted like wood aren't they?

In any event, for $105 I'd grab it (and I try to only collect AE).
