This vintage of phone does not have an internal bell, so unless you have other phones or ringers, you won't know you have an incoming call.See pictures.

    Description

    The
    model 202 telephone
    was a desktop telephone produced by
    Western Electric
    for the
    Bell System
    from 1930 to 1939, and by
    Northern Electric
    in Canada.
    The 102- and 202-type telephones were developed from previous hand telephone versions based on the
    A
    - and
    B
    -type handset mountings which featured a circular base. The
    A
    handset mounting was a direct derivative of the
    candlestick telephone
    with a shortened vertical shaft, but had a handset cradle mounted on the top, instead of a sideways extending switch hook. The
    B
    -type handset mounting was a resculpted variety that integrated the vertical shaft into the contours of the still circular base. The circular base proved unstable during dialing, however, and therefore a new, wider, elliptical base was developed and introduced in 1930. This design was referred to as the
    D
    handset mounting.
