This phone has a dial to go on the public network, but also a crank to reach a phone at a local network. By means of an external switch, the user could change the network. Typical for a small business, where the "boss" <was capable of making external phonecalls, but not his secretary.

I bought this phone in a second hand store in Brasschaat, Belgium.
