Yep. Our first one had the bells on the top/outer side of the box.
From 10 yrs old, I was on a rural farm.
Our first fone was a crank style. Turning the crank, generated a signal to the switchboard "up in town".
U told the operator, who would then "connect" you.
70+ yrs later, I can't remember what I had for dinner last nite, but I remember the "important" things, such as the fone "number". It was 2 shorts and a long. Later, we got a really new technology, a dial fone..it was 2406.
FUN TIMES! Sad to see they are forever gone.
