Oh, Allan, forgive me I did not know it was you birthday (do not even know if it already was at the date of the first post in this conversation, secure - as you say - that the telephone is older than you...)
all the best

portuguese name for fieldtelephone - telefone de campanha - the funny thing is that the third word is similar to "campanhia" which means the phone ring bell...

I rewired the batteries - not using common battery - after these were
taken, attaching the leads to the external terminals. The penny was there
for bypassing corrosion, but I think someone else had rewired the
interior, and it proved dead. The two external batteries (radioshack
battery holders) work fine; for some reason one of the magnetos doesn't
fire the other bell, but one works perfectly. These were in miserable
shape; they're outside their canvas cases here. (I won't go into the
condition of the cases; needless to say, I washed them down among other
things.) -
