Rare Telephone with Ivory Speaker 

The rectangular shaped base to the phone is a rare grain painted metal in an orange/brown color. The handle on the side turns ( to look like you are cranking the phone). The speaker and receiver to the phone lies in a cradle position with two holders to support it. This piece is metal and painted black and the speaker part is ivory. A cord attaches from the box to the receiver. It is marked "Germany". I believe this is an intercom phone to call servants.
