Is this a real item or just one made for the show?

I'm trying to identify the tan item that looks kind of like a telephone but has many more keys on it. Batman types on it in several episodes. Was this a real input device of some sort from the 1960's? Or something just made up for the show? It certainly looks real to me but after lots of googling and even asking ChatGPT to identify the item, I'm coming up blank. Does anybody know what this is?

Wow A. Pennyworth! Your knowledge seems inexhaustible! Thank you very much!

I don't understand why the images don't show up for you. I'm just using the built-in image tag generator in the editor. I click on the "Insert image" icon and put these links in between the tags:

I don’t know, but I always have to save the image to my device before posting it. That’s the only way it will show up in a post, for me. But, per John, if I were on my computer I could right click your missing image icon and it would show up. But on my handheld device, there is no right click option.

Hmmmm, that sounds like a browser permissions issue. Are you using Chrome on an Android by any chance?

I see you also found the Quotron employee facebook group. After your answer to my question, I too started looking to see if I could find an original unit.

No, Ben. It’s an iPhone with the latest iOS.
