Look at this everyday on the shelf but hadn't thought about sharing it till now. From 1902 or older and passed down through the family to me several years ago. The test card is dated for 1902.

I like it, its pretty neat. But what is it?

It is the ringer/capacitor box from an old telephone, similar to this one.

Late reply, the only thing I know is my grandfather got it while he worked for New York telephone Corp. Thanks for your reply and the later photo
