Need some guesses in guys before the first Zoom Out...

To be completely truthful, its still hard to make out, is it a crank handle?

Crank handle on a magneto desk set, possibly a Liech 901B?

Tight call on the winner. Teleplay wins the round naming the phone. The magneto crank handle on a Leich.

There are several different phones that have 2 rings of holes through the base next to the ringer gongs to allow the ringer to be heard better.

It's the beige color that puzzles me in that metal bases so drilled are black coated metal. Could be a plastic phone so drilled.

Then again, it may be something else.
