Had some wires going to it but seemed to be disconnected. This is a home built in 1955 and there were a few of these hooked up around the home along the trim. I was born a few decades after this so I could use a little help in identifying it!
Old phone connection.

Phone connection block. I’m so old 
Once upon a time we had these things called landlines and connected devices called telephones so we could talk to each other over copper wire.
Odd I know.

I never paid a phone company for my land line phone internally. Give me the interface box outside and I am all set after that. Now the phone through my internet is a different story. LOL
It is missing a cover.

I still have a couple of these old phones. Last year when I went to the cable TV office they had a display of theses on a table. I walked up to the display and was looking at them when the YOUNG lady at the desk informed me I should not touch the antiques. Yep, I’m old

HA, HA, HA unless it was a candlestick phone there’s nothing antique about it. Grew up with a land line in the dining room. If you called a girl the whole house could eavesdrop on your side of the conversation. When I wanted privacy I walked to the corner and used a pay phone, Don’t see those anymore either!
