Hello, I found a special box. Does anyone know what this is?

It is approximately 35 x 25 x 10 cm

It contains reels and 3 old paper plates with the numbers 1 2 and 3 on them.

The whole thing is reset with a brass push rod.

In the lid is a painted glass plate with 3 recesses for the papers with numbers.

Who o who?

...... and now post another photo ...... how?

This looks like an electric bell system belonging to a wealthy staffed family.

The family presses the button and the servants see on the box who has called.
