European "Partner" telephone

This is a most unusual "Partner" phone with two generator  handles and that would have been located in the centre of a partner desk and shared by two employees. Unusual shaped "tapered" handgrip on the elegant styled handset.

Sweden may well have been the origin of the partner phone when LM Ericsson in the 1890's designed and manufactured the twin handled magneto phones in the Skeleton and Tunnan styles, and later with the Telegrafverket double dial telephone
