The dial is type 21LA fitted with a No. 389 label and a PVC-insulated wiring loom. Presumably the marking APB indicates that it was made by A.P Besson. Bob’s site says: Dials, Automatic, No. 21LA, Black may be issued in lieu of Dials, Automatic, No. 12LA for use on pre 700-type telephones. The letter 'L,' in the title indicates that it includes a number ring bearing figures and letters. The dial’s plastic body sits about 1/8” proud of the phone’s case which leaves a rather unsightly gap which tends to gather debris. Should some kind of spacer have also been used?
