Phonez-vous Francais
My girlfriend's dad is getting rid of stuff (in a big way) and he gave me this. (He also has the WW II Easy Talky phone that he carried around southern France, while fighting the Germans there. See previous post.)
Anyway, he stayed in France for several years after the war (many cool stories there, but another time for that.) This device has a label in the front that says "TPL PICART-LEBAS 40 Rue Nord Louis Blanc 08-35, and along the very edge it says Photal Damien. The labels at the left say OPERA 90-50, OPERA 94-38, and AUTOMATIQUE.
The box on the right has a bunch of connectors, and the middle opens to show little holes in back, maybe for making connections between the connectors on the front. Or something. I imagine it's designed as a phone for within a building, with extensions. So waddaya ya think, gang? Something ya don't see every day, eh?
