I thought I'd share a picture of my Western Electric Pony Switchboard. It is identified as "pony" in the WE catalog. On the left is a early Select-O-Phone. The housing is made of wood (possibly birch) rather then the more commonly seen metal housing.

Really nice!  Judging from the exposed terminals yours looks like it is pre-1900.  Small cord boards like this are almost impossible to find.

I mounted the switchboard lower on the wall then the phones so the terminals could be easily seen. It has 10 lines and one trunk.
