This extremely compact table-top telephone with a quirky design was also known as the “Pferdefuss” or “horse’s hoof” in Bavaria due to its shape.
It was the approved standard dialling apparatus only in Bavaria.
Incidentally, the device was referred to as the “cow’s hoof” in Prussia. Photo: Jan Braun, HNF
