Items labeled "International Philco" were the result of a joint venture between Philco and IBM to build and sell various types of intercom/public address units for schools, businesses, churches, auditoriums, parks, and other such institutions.

Your speaker was probably part of a large unit similar to the one pictured on the second link above (the PA system installed at Southeast High School in Kansas City).

I've often wondered what happened to that big PA unit, since I'm a native of Kansas City...I didn't go to Southeast High School (my parents and I moved to Kentucky when I was 12), so I never saw it.
