The
place of manufacture inside the telephone set was indicated
as "S.P.B." which used to be an acronym for
Saint-Petersburg, the capital of Russia at that time. This means the telephone
was manufactured before August, 1914, when WW I was unleashed. Shortly after
that Saint Petersburg was renamed into "Petrograd".
