    This phone is supposed to be one of the first in Houston County, Texas. On the back, it says:
    Sandwich Electric Co.
    Sandwich, Ill.
    0934
    OWR&N
    it is about 8"x10"

    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

      Sandwich Electric Co started manufacturing telegraph and telephones in 1898 mainly for the railroad industry. I haven't figured out the reason for the two what looks like transmitters. Since I don't see any bells on your telephone, I believe one of the so called transmitter could be a howler. I need to see a photo of the backside of the door. The telephone was manufactured around 1910.
