My grandmother had an old wooden phone like that on her kitchen wall (except hers had the receiver holder on the left and the magneto crank (to call the operator to have her place a call) on the right side. Used to fascinate me to see her crank it up and ask the operator to connect her to “Betty” or “Frank at the store”.
