The image shows two objects on a shelf. On the left side, there is a black cylindrical object with a white label on it. The object appears to be a telegraph ball, which is a type of ball used in the early 20th century. The ball is round and has a textured surface with a pattern of small circles and lines. It is resting on a beige-colored surface, and on the right side of the shelf, there are two other objects, one of which is an old-fashioned telephone receiver. The telephone receiver is made of metal and has several buttons and dials. There is also a small piece of paper with text on it next to the telephone receiver, which likely contains information about the telegraph.
