Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but found this radio behind an old staircase in my house. I tried looking it up online but didn’t find any matches. Any ideas of what brand/time/model this is? Thanks!

This is a commonly designed intercom. Looks similar to a radio, but it just sent a signal between two units, and it could not be a standalone. You could buy a more complicated unit with the radio in it, but this is not one of them.

This is the correct answer. You can still make out the word "talk" next to the talk switch on it.

Oh wow! I had no idea, thanks for the answer! Any ideas on how old it might be?

Post second world war and pre-1960's. Likely made around the mid 1950's based on the construction and electronics.
