    Curious because I don't know what telephone company awarded this charm. This charm is attached to a ribbon.

    This is a very unique design, mainly because of the wings on the sides of the bell. I don't know, but I guess it was from somewhere back East. I believe - because Angus Hibbard, visiting New York and working on advertising in 1888, originated the Bell shape and attached a set of wings to indicate the flight or speed of telephone transmission.

    About 5/8 in size, gold filled, and beautiful to behold.
