I guess it's probably a Western Electric. She rented it from GTE for years. It was the only phone we had until I was a teenager, back in the late '70s. They didn't get pulse dialing in my mom's exchange until about 1982, though.
She bought the old clunker from General Telephone when Verizon bought them out, a few years ago. The ringer no longer works, but I made her promise she wouldn't just throw the phone out -- Hammacher Schlemmer sells the reconditioned ones for a couple hundred bucks.
It was the loudest ringer -- and the loudest speaker, for that matter -- I ever saw on a phone.
