Saw this at a Antique Store .. They were asking 115.00 I didn't take picture of inside I Should have But it looked nice and Clean.. Had all Tubes present about 5 or 6 I think All Globe tubes .. No Speaker or power supply I think tag said from the 20's No markings on it at all.. I think it was a battery set as it had battery terminals inside ..

With no markings my guess would be a home-brew three dialer, but it sure looks awfully clean and we'd need to see a picture of the inside.  Probably uses 01A tubes that (if good) are worth at least $10 each, depending on type.

These sets are a ball to play with.  From the mid-twenties you can use ten 9 volt batteries for the B supply and a 6 volt battery or power supply for the A supply.  These sets used headphones or a horn (or cone) speaker.  You can buy a power supply for about $55 from AES:

Get a picture of the inside and measure the filaments of the tubes to make sure someone didn't stick in duds for display.  While $115 is high, with good tubes $75 might not be unreasonable if it as clean inside as outside.
