Vintage Art Deco Gamewell Fire Alarm Pull Station Box complete. It has a patent date on the pull handle of January 1, 1924, which I originally thought dates this box between 1924-1941 (based on the 17 year patent), but apparently the 1924 model continued to be made into the 50s. With the help of a very nice user, they looked into the serial number and told me that the manufacture date of this one would be about 1949.
Overall the box is in very nice condition. It comes with a key and the lock works perfectly fine. Interior mechanisms are fully functional and most likely would work if you were to get wires for powering it. The glass on the pull lever is NOT cracked and in good shape. The lever works great and it makes the ticking noise that it needs to. Some very light white-ish paint splatter on the top, and it looks like someone painted over the letters on the pull handle. The stripes on the side are kind of worn but not in too bad of shape. May need a further cleaning and if you wanted to paint it you could. The only real condition issue is on the back where a piece is broken from being removed (see pic) but that shouldn\'t really matter if displayed against a wall. This is a very nice piece for any collection or even just as a conversation piece.
