AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is an internal intercom from URMET, from the series used between the 1950s and 1960s, connected to communal or industrial systems.
Features that identify it as an intercom:
Bakelite earpiece identical to those of the era's phones.
Three front buttons — typical of historic intercoms: door opener, internal call, multiple line/multiple entry selection.
Total absence of keyboard / disk → not needed for intercoms.
Typical high and inclined base of URMET models for multi-user systems
In the years 1955 to 1965
URMET, during that period, produced models used in:
Prestigious condominiums
concierge service
public offices
industrial facilities
Many had this 'phone-like' aesthetic because the use of the receiver made conversations easier.
